In case anyone is confused, we are just following our plan. A few days in Maple Ridge for "training" before the real journey begins. We decided to ride from Maple Ridge to Mission on the Dewdney Trunk Road and return by way of the Lougheed Highway or Hwy. # 7. First 15 km seemed to take forever. Then we figured out why. We had been gradually climbing. 10 km downhill on curvy roads in about 10 minutes, pretty much riding the brakes the entire way. Never knew what might be around the next curve. Quite fun actually. Looking forward to those downhills in the mountains. But you know the climbs are still a concern!!! Tomorrow another training ride.
