Perma-light: Chilliwack to Bridal Falls & Back
Nov 15, 2024
102.6 km
5 hrs 39 min

This time I started in daylight, at a reasonable 08:17.  : )

Less than 45 min into my ride, I was stopped by a train. Not off to a good start. Then I had 3 instances of single lane construction stoppages, but not for too long.

I had beautiful weather, even some sun for the first half of my ride. Soon after my second time under the Agassiz Bridge I saw a beautiful rainbow over Fraser River. Then it started raining! Wait!! That's not supposed to happen!! It rained on me steadily from 60 km to 75. Then it rained off & on until the end. It was between 5-7 degrees all day but felt much colder.

It felt good to be done. But this ride took much more out of me than October's ride. I looked at my Garmin data. In October, I had 56% remaining potential at the end of the ride. In November, I only had 38% remaining potential. It felt like it...
