Our first big riding day is behind us - 85km plus a wrong turn that caused us two extra hill climbs. We've both underestimated how much a hill will slow you down. When we're riding on the flats we're cruising at around 30km/h but as soon as we hit any incline it drops to 15. These BC hills have us crawling along at 8km/h sometimes, and you definitely feel it in the legs after even a small handful of hills.
Luckily most of our trail today was along the river and through some farmland with incredible snow capped mountains in the background at all times.
We only now feel like we're out of the main Vancouver area. Those suburb type places just never seemed to end, though we did have some great rides in Vancouver's Barrhaven and Kanata equivalents.
