Day 267

The sun was out this morning, so I rode off for Britannia Beach.  The sun left me within about 30min and I got a bit of rain out around Britannia Beach, but it was all sunshine back in Vancouver.  From about Horseshoe Bay to Vancouver the weather was perfect.  Overall the ride went well.  I still felt I had something left in my legs at the end.  133.21km in 4:46:28 for an avg speed of 27.9km/h.  I'm pretty happy with this pace.  I wish I had a power meter, but I think I did a decent job of keeping the effort to an easy pace by watching my heart rate.  There was even a 3 hour span where I averaged 29.1km/h.  Given my easy effort, I'm very happy with that pace.  I think I could ride at that pace for even longer rides like I'll see in the tour, so it's a good sign.
