Ride 41 - 1 November 2019
Distance 60.7km (Distance to date 1272.2km)
Time 4hrs 5mins (Time to date 97hrs 22mins)
So, it's November. I'm not going to lie, I've been starting to panic about getting this challenge finished; so I took action and have commenced a two day extravaganza of exploration!! Two days to cover every road in the Esquimalt Peninsular 👊!
As the map shows, I started this ride from Oak Bay Bikes. A departure from the normal green bikes, I decided to rent myself a 'proper' as a treat. My intention when I started this was to get bikes from a variety of places round Victoria, but that never happened, but I am no way tied to green bikes (before you ask)!
I took a days vacation to do this ride as the weather looked passable; turned out it was a peach of a day!
Throughout this challenge I've had great weather on waterfront days, lucky as this ride would have been pretty miserable in the rain or the wind!
Points of Interest.....
Spark Plug Bird (48.42606, -123.42359)
A bird, made out of spark plugs!? Banging.
West Bay Waterfront (48.42619, -123.41937)
This little cove of land was an amazing little discovery. Each street led down to a waterfront deck, pretty quiet and secluded. I was tempted to get a G&T and stop!
