Rapha Festive 500 Ride #5

My wife and kids were heading to a friends house for a get together, so I had most of the day to fit another big ride in.

@1luckybiker had been suffering with a lot of flats in Glen Valley, my usual riding area. I decided to head out to Iona Beach in Richmond hoping to bag another 100km.

The ride started off dry for the first 30 kilometres before the rain and wind began. Iona Beach is a popular riding area for Vancouver cyclists, and I was glad to see a few other cyclists out despite the terrible conditions.

Are beaches supposed to be wet?

I rode into a strong headwind and driving rain the whole way back from Richmond. I was riding in the dark by the time I arrived at home.
