Log Notes (Bikes)
KA is my Kuwahara Apollo. I bought it around 1980. Chromo-moly frame. Old school road bike. Shimano 600 hubs, derailleurs, shifters. I replaced a seat post in 2004, changed the stem in 2005, put on Shimano Ultegra SPD pedals in 2007.
GY is my Giant Yukon. Originally a hard tailed aluminum mountain bike, now a heavy, fat-tired, long-distance commuter. I changed cranks, chainrings, hubs, pedals, changed the stem, added bar ends in 2004. Dependable.
On my visits to Winnipeg, I have borrowed Mike's Raleigh Rocky (RR).
Victoria Routes
I live in James Bay which is a community on a peninsula between the Strait of Juan de Fuca and Victoria Harbour. I live a block from Dallas Road, which starts at the Coast Guard Station at the west end of James Bay and runs along the Strait, on the southern edge of the community. Most rides start near the intersection of Dallas and Menzies. I start at home most of the time. I have a copy of John Crouch's Bike Victoria, a useful book which has a route plans and maps that are realistic and accurate. I tend to start from home and sometimes check out his routes.
