You know what I love about Victoria? I ride my bike down Shelbourne every day and all I see off in the distance is the snow capped mountains down in Washington. What a view! It provides a scenic backdrop to the entire city (depending on where you are and which way you are looking).
What I don’t love about Victoria? The fact that every hill in the city happens to be on Quadra, which I didn’t know until I rode up them all this afternoon in the blazing sun, 24+ degrees out, while wearing a dark coloured shirt and nearly expiring of heat.
