Today was a little warmer (25-27C) so I thought I'd try to stay close to water. The easy choice was down to River Road, heading West to Deas Island Park.
What I did not count on was a stiff headwind the whole way there. I had decided that I wanted to go for low assist levels/higher battery efficiency as opposed to the previous "fastest 40", but still try to keep the km/hr up.
Have been keeping an eye on the smoke forecast and figured today was going to be it for a while.

You can see it's just starting to hint of haze/smoke coming, looking to the NW...
End of the road into Deas Island Park...
This area is used a lot for water ski/rowing/kayak etc...
Heading out of the park, saw a cool car...
I don't think I've ever averaged 2km/battery percentage...
Heading back along a service road right beside Hwy 99. Super safe, but piles of traffic/noise...
This guy can't decide whether he likes chain drive or belt drive...
A spot of solace/shade and some water at... um... Watershed Park on the way home...
Almost 40, but not quite. Would not have beaten the previous anyway, but mission accomplished regarding higher km/battery consumption...
