2019 Road Cycling No. 4: Chassell, 35.5 km.
I knew that the typical cycling way to Chassell is not available. I was thinking that if there are alternatives way to there. Since I can not cycle along the Portage lake, why not go south through another road? This time I started from Pilgrim Road, which connected with the tech trail.
It was an exciting start with long slopes, saving my energy.
Things, however, were not as I planned. At the bottom of a slope, the road was closed due to last year's flood.
Ooh! The funning start turned into a tricky situation. The only way I can do was to climb and climb. I needed to back to a higher altitude, where is similar to I started. From the last figure, it shows that I enjoyed the highest speed of 50.8 km/h during the downhill, while I was struggled with the low speed of roughly 8.5 km/h during the climbing. All of sudden, it came.
After climbing, situation backed to normal. I decided to go south again after the first try on Pilgrim Road. This time, I selected the Superior Road.
After going south for a while, I saw the road sign to Chassell, turning left.
In Chassell, my most familiar building was Meemic, which is for my car insurance. It also reminded me of renewing my car insurance for the coming half a year.
On the way back, I passed by the Goodwin Motors. It was surprise that they open the door during weekend. Maybe they were doing some cleaning. I would visit them at the end of this summer for car maintenance.
Here comes the summary and map of this last ride in June. The closed road changed my plan. But it did not prevent me to arrive in Chassell. It was just a little longer than I planed. The average riding speed was 17.9 km/h. The max riding speed was 50.8 km/h. It was a new route to visit Chassell.
