Hill Ride

Today I was scheduled to do a 30 minute, easy ride. I have a busy day at work so I decided to ride first thing in the morning. I also decided that I need to work on my biggest weakness - climbing hills. So, I took on Capilano Road from the Hwy #1 overpass to the Grouse Mtn parking lot. I took it easy but it was a tough 6 km hill. Coming back down was fun. I broke my previous top speed maxing out at 72.6 km - no pedaling, just pure gravity.

Route: from home onto Capilano Rd to the Grouse Mtn parking lot, around the lot, down Capilano Rd, left on Montroyal Ave, right on Highland Blvd, right on Ridgewood Dr, left onto Capilano Rd and back home.
Distance: 13.56 km
Time: 33:27
Average Speed: 24.4 km/h
