And last...
I have a certain list of places I was going to try to ride as eBike test, but it appears that the two routes - via Springbank and Priddis to Bragg seem to be quite popular. Unless you want to try the flyfishing/guerilla camping from MTB, I don't expect partners on the ride, but a "Hi" would be nice. I'll be in touch when it's built and I start riding.
