walking

 

Thursday morning I cycled 31km roundtrip from home to downtown Victoria and back home via Dallas Road and around the Inner Harbour.

---

Most of my riding is on trails and bikeways or quiet residential street.

---

The Lochside Trails is the nearest access from home and it connects with the Galloping Gose Trail which connect to downtown bikeways.

---

The Fort Street Bikeway connects with the Vancouver Street Bikeway wehich leads directly to Dallas Road Bike Lanes. Bike Lanes is a misnomer as much of the route along Victoria's waterfront is multi-use pathways.

---

There's two option for safely getting from Dallas Rd. to downtown. St. Lawrence and Niagara St. converge at Dallas Rd., so either one is a safe choice to town and the Galloping Goose connector at Humboldt at Douglas streets.

---

So there you have it . . . another great day cycling in paradise.

Thursday morning I washed the Benz in the underground at 9a.m. After my bike ride, I blackened the tires on the Benz and on the Honda at 2p.m.

At 11a.m., I cycled 26km roundtrip from home to the top of Beacon Hill in the eponymous park.

N.B. Around the time Fort Victoria was being built in the early 1840s, large fires were lit on the highest land near Victoria Harbour. This was to guide sailing ships at night plying the Strait of Juan de Fuca to a safe harbour — hence the name: Beacon Hill.
