Day 291

Drove over to Cypress to get one last climbing session in before I leave.  The rain held off for the first 30min or so, then drizzled until I got to the top.  When I reached the top it started to pour!  The first few minutes of the ride down were painfully cold, but it eventually cleared and I warmed up again before reaching the bottom.  I didn't want to push to hard, so I kept the pace pretty mellow and felt really comfortable at that pace.  I'm hoping to keep a slightly slower pace in France, but we'll see how worn out I am from the cumulative effect (I'm just mapping the route right now and was excited to see stage 10 was only about 160km...).  Car to car, 26.74km in 1:12:51 for an avg speed of 22.1km/h and avg power of 185W (206W normalized).
