Ride 27 - Blandford

Ride 27 - 4 August 2019
Distance 18.5miles (Distance to date 457.5 miles)
Time 2hrs 21mins (Time to date 56hrs 52mins)

 Not sure if I'm just becoming desensitized or the ride are becoming more boring!

Not much to report here!  I'm still really enjoying the exploring (especially the early morning rides), just don't seem to be finding much of interest to report!  Admittedly, looking back on my earlier rides, there a lot of stuff that wouldn't make the cut now.





This did amuse me; found these in neighbouring gardens; a crocodile and a crocodile's victim!



Points of Interest.....

 Dragon House (48.47131, -123.39116)

I don't know whether they're real or not, but this house has a number of badass dragons out the front.  Don't blame me if you get burnt.

Biggest news in Victoria Right Now!?!?!?

OK, so the biggest news is actually a tragic story which broke all our hearts.  But page A6 of the Times Colonist is a much nicer story to read!!!

Ride 23 - Beach Access!

Ride 23 - 21 July 2019 Distance 26.7miles (Distance to date 387.9 miles) Time 3hrs 14mins (Time to date 47hrs 56mins) So today's ride will always be remember for one thing.  Not the scenary, not the beach views........the song I had stuck in my head.  You Can Call me Al .   Urgh. If you don't like people, but love deer, 10 mile point at 7:30am if the place for you!  I didn't count, but I easily saw more deer then people for the first hour or so of this ride! 10 mile point isn't the most welcoming area to ride, the houses are big and for the most part they cover the shoreline, but there were loads of little secluded beach access points, the great discovery of this ride.  At 8am they were deserted too, so if you want some solitude and nature, head to ten mile point with your morning coffee! To save you the trouble, here they are! Beach Access   Points of Interest..... Glencoe Cove-Kwatsech Park  (48.48922, -123.30175) T...

Ride 35 - The West End is complete!

Ride 35 - 6 October 2019 Distance 35.1km (Distance to date 1041.8km) Time 2hrs 36mins (Time to date 79hrs 48mins) So the far eastern tip of the map is complete!!  I had meant to do that bit during Ride 21 , but ran out of time, so it was great to finally get it done!  The far from home areas are a logistical nightmare, over 30 minutes of riding just to get to the start line. I was soooo far east, the street signs turned blue, a sign that I had dipped into View Royal.  Just It was just a few streets, but I can declare View Royal has been completed View Royal is in the bag Highway 1 was not fun, made particularly hazardous by these signs places in the shoulder of a TWO LANE HIGHWAY!  Thanks guys. DANGER An update on overall progress below, a lot left but I'm starting to feel like this is doable!. Ride 35 to Date Now I want to be a postman 'I'm going to paint my house orangey red' said no sane man ever! Points of Interest..... No...
