On Friday I rode in to our rental house. Looks like we have a new tenant.
I rode Beatrice. 38 km. No flat tire this time.
On my way down the stairs to the Quesnell Bridge I passed a Asian man with one of those massive cameras, a tripod -- the whole kit and caboodle. After seeing him, I took a closer look at the scene below me.
It was a gorgeous sunny day and the river was dotted with seagulls bobbing in the current.
I rode up Fox Drive and when I looked at Map My Ride afterwards, I was surprised to see that it counts as two climbs, each with a fairly steep grade. The first climb has a 7% grade.
I would never have guessed it is such a steep climb, maybe because it is long and drawn out. Apparently the much shorter Fortway Drive hill has a 10% grade at some point, but that doesn't appear on the Map My Ride elevation map.
