Tour de Farce 2002
Note 10
I cycled over Crowsnest pass, 1382m (4534 feet), to Chain Lakes RV park on Highway 22 in Alberta. Sparwood is at an elevation of 1140 meters (3740 feet) resulting in a minumum elevation gain of 794 feet. I started late, about 6:00 am, from Sparwood due to a thunder storm. When I reached the town of Crowsnest, I was caught in a cold down pour and hail. I stopped at a Subway which just happened to be there. Then at about 100 KM into the ride, with about the last 50 KM of a cold head wind, a very heavy squall arrived just as my wife came by in the van. So I hopped into the van and got a chance to sit this one out. This ride was a lot harder than I expected. Numerous rolling hills and the weather conditions slowed me down a lot. |
