Ride 32 - Earning the beer

Ride 32 - 3 September 2019
Distance 16.7 miles (Distance to date 587.0 miles)
Time 2hrs 05mins (Time to date 72hrs 14mins)

An old friend was in town for one night only.  I am starting to lose sleep over getting this challenge finished.  The only option, was to squeeze in a ride before going to the pub!


I was kind of glad this ride wasn't to interesting.  Taking photos is time consuming!

..............despite that, as per normal, I was late to the pub.

Ride 45 - No More Waterfront to Ride

Ride 45 - 23 November 2019 Distance 31.3km (Distance to date 1451.5km) Time 2hrs 38mins (Time to date 111hrs 24mins) The end is firmly in sight! My rides tend to be pretty unplanned; I tend to head to an area, circle an area and then colour it in.  This lack of planning has now left me with an east west corridor!  The good news is, this corridor should be pretty simple to complete! Ride 44 to Date Ride 45 means I am now complete east of Shelborne, with downtown being the only sizeable chunk left to go.  I've not saved downtown until last (as many people have assumed), in fact, quite the opposite; I have been putting it off as I'm dreading it! The ride was pleasant, finishing off oak bay.  Sad to finish my last little bit of waterfront, as the waterfront rides are the ones I generally enjoy most.

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...
