Cariboo Hill? That would make sense. That was starting hill every morning coming from Gaglardi and Broadway, it was a great warm up to a 15 mile ride. Then on the way home I had Byrne road halfway home. But river route you posted was my normal route, it is nice along there. Though it has been years.
I took the Adanac then Frances/Union, which climbs up to Cliff Drive, then drops steeply down on the Sea to River route, connecting to the Central Valley Greenway. It was the Cariboo climb that got me; partially because I am not used to that grade over that distance, and partially because I upped my miles this week taking scenic routes and did 50km Tuesday and Wednesday, with that Cariboo climb near the end.
When I'm less tired, I need to try that Cariboo climb a few more times. (Not back to back)...
