    Running with Rob

    Hey folks, Carlos here, just back from a solid run with Rob—well, almost 4K, but it felt good. He’s gearing up for the 8K on Canada’s Thanksgiving Day, part of a whole festival of races that roll along the Victoria waterfront with killer views of the Olympics and the Strait. Running with Rob always pushes me because he’s old school—no walk breaks—while I tend to manage my heart rate with little pauses on the hills. Right now I’m cruising home on my e-bike, trying to record this without too much wind noise, after messing up my first attempt with the mic turned off. We’re already talking about running again soon, maybe adding an extra lap next time, so stay tuned.

    Pig ride 'Audio Postcards'

    Ride Report — “Lochside Pig Ride” This morning, Rob and I set out on the Lochside Trail with one unusual mission: visit the new mini-pigs. The weather was perfect for spinning, and the trail was alive with late-summer greens and a hint of crispness in the air. We covered 31.77 km in just under two hours (1:57:03 moving time), keeping an easy conversational pace of 16.3 km/h. The ride wasn’t about speed—it was about scenery, company, and curiosity. Along the way, we climbed 143 m, enough to keep the legs warm but never burning. My average power came in at 56 W, translating to 965 calories burned, which I think means I earned extra lunch. The pigs, by the way, were worth the trip—charming, small, and already the stars of their pen. We lingered for a while before heading back, chatting about future rides and sharing the road with a scattering of other cyclists and walkers. Second longest ride in my Strava records—proof that sometimes the best motivation is the promise of something unexpected at the end of the trail. 🐷🚴
