Biggest News in Saanich Right Now?

So I think I've had my 15 minutes of fame. Man, it was quick.

I was interviewed by the local paper............. and I was FRONT PAGE news!!!! That's right, Victoria on a Bike was the biggest news in Saanich. (We don't need to mention that this week's biggest news in Saanich was 20 people going on a 5km bike ride!*).

Front Page

The madness didn't stop there. Next I received a call from CBC Radio and asked to be a guest on the All Points West radio show.

This is the only evidence I can offer that I was on the radio!

What's next you ask? Well after all the attention my website had 60 hits (out of a metropolitan population of >300,000), so I guess nothing is next and things will carry on as normal!

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.

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!!!

.......and so it begins

Every year I set myself a challenge; these challenges have ranged from giving up meat, to forming a one man band and charity fundraising. This year the challenge is set; to cycle every single street in Victoria, British Columbia ....to add a little twist, I'll do the whole thing on a rental bike. Along the way, I plan to record things of interest I see, people I meet etc and update this blog with progress. Hopefully at the end I'll have a handy guide of things to see in Victoria BC (on two wheels). Hope you enjoy the journey!
