Recovering in Victoria, BC, Canada

I have been an Islander all my life, a cyclist from the first time my brother rolled me down the hill in our backyard into the pond at the bottom. Explains why fishing and cycling were my choice activities I suppose. My choice was always a road bike until I became a Grandfather. Thought I had best try out mountain biking before I got too old

I met Melissa at a 200 km charity ride 5 years ago. February 2006 we cycled the south Island of New Zealand (check out my website) and now I am hooked on touring.

Recovering from what? Check out;

How many of you met your better half at a cycling event?

Hello Steve, you are a lucky man in SO many ways .

And what a wonderful idea for visiting cyclists, with the warmshowers site. I may have to take advantage of that one day--it's my goal to cycle the length of Vancouver Island sometime next year.

Welcome to BF!

Thanks for the encouragement
