2011 Log

I noted I paddled in a Voyageur canoe at VCKC on the Gorge on New Years Day. I noted a couple of hikes in January.

I had a stroke in January. I was discharged from hospital in February.

I noted my first ride March 20. On the first ride, I had a moment of instability at the Saanich Road crossing on the Lochside related to disengaging the clips to stop for traffic. It was momentary and did not deter me from riding. In early May I perceived some dizziness while walking – carrying something heavy.I became concerned that I was not managing my balance and that low blood pressure due to medications was affecting my balance. I did not ride after June. My logged cycling distance in 2011 was 328.3 Km.

I started to go for 10 km. walks on trails along Beaver and Elk lakes in June. Saturday morning walks became regular. I used the GPS. My recorded walk/hikes included the early January hikes and couple more hikes on Galloping Goose in Metchosin with people from VCKC. My logged walks in 2011 were 324.2 Km.
