Home to Finlayson Arm Road, down Millstream to Bear Mtn Parkway up to the top then home via hiway etc
The first climb felt sluggish and draining - I was out of the seat and felt like I had little upwards momentum and my cadence was uneven. I recovered somewhat and for the Bear Mtn climb, I dropped it back a notch and concentrated on form and power up the hill.
The ride home along the highway was mediocre and the traffic was thick. I do have the option of riding along the Galloping Goose trail system but this takes longer and it's crowded - I tend to not use this as it's like the 401 in Toronto with 'bents, pedestrians, bladers, moms pushing prams, and small kids weaving from side to side on their trikes/bikes. Sometimes the scenery is bettter tho'.
