Cycle Touring Saga – New Beginnings

Its mid February. It is rainy and not cold outside. It hasn’t been for some time now (Classic Vancouver). Though spring is still a little more than a month away I doubt winter has much more to throw at us. As I’m digging around in my spare room for something I look at the pile of pieces in front of me that is my bike. It has … Continue reading Cycle Touring Saga – New Beginnings

Bogachiel Or Bust! It’s early. 630 I think. We are in Victoria and getting ready to make our way south to Port Angeles. We left Richmond yesterday afternoon took the ferry to Swartz Bay. Then it was only a 33km ride to get here. Some beers and anticipation about what we were undertaking made for a great afternoon on the Lochside trail. We had dinner … Continue reading Vagabond Vacation pt 2
