I live in James Bay, a residential area on a peninsula between the Strait of Juan de Fuca and Victoria Harbour. I live a block from Dallas Road, which runs along the Strait, on the southern edge of the community. Most rides start near the intersection of Dallas and Menzies. More on routes on my Victoria Routes page.

The logs listed here started as a record of cycling in 2007. I started to add notes about some days when I might have cycled but did not. I did not log paddling practices or distance. In 2011 I started to make regular long walks (partly therapy after a stoke). I kept logs in Excel locally and uploaded pdf copies to the blog. In 2016, using the TablePress plug-in, I converted to Tables in posts.
