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!

How many roads are there in Victoria?

So, before getting started, I'm going to make a guess of what I've taken on. The challenge is to cover every road in Victoria, I've taken 'Victoria' to mean Victoria and the surrounding areas / districts. So the municipality 'City of Victoria' has a total of 258km . Unfortunately, I've made my life difficult and included Esquimalt, Oak Bay and some of Saanich! Just a finger in the air here, but it looks like Victoria covers 1/4 of my area, so I'm looking at just over 1,000km. On one of these: Jeepers

Ride 28 - Foul Bay

Ride 28 - 5 August 2019 Distance 24.1miles (Distance to date 481.6 miles) Time 2hrs 56mins (Time to date 59hrs 48mins) No idea how Foul Bay Rd got it's name ( until now!! ), but it's not foul and there is no Foul Bay in Victoria. Still it makes for a pleasant bit of Urban Onroading! Sometimes timing is everything Points of Interest..... Jumping Dog (48.436641, --23.317773) Just a statue of a jumping dog. It made me smile! Woof!
