Oh, the weather has been PERFECT in SE Wisconsin lately. I got 60 miles in this weekend on eBikes. (plenty of exercise each time)
  • Saturday, I drove up 66 miles to the "local" Yamaha dealer to pick up my electric gravel bike, a Wabash RT. It had been having an electronic fault in which it shut down at around 10 miles into a ride, leaving me to pedal that 47 lb. beast home unpowered. I got 25 miles in with no shut-down, so I'm hoping it's fixed now and I can start depending on it a bit more. It was mid-30s to mid-40s up there, ~30 miles north of Milwaukee. (Port Washington and Belgium, WI)

  • Yesterday, I arranged a party pace ride up to the next town north of us with my wife and one other club rider joined us. All on eBikes, to keep it chill. (and to save my legs for tonight's ride) 36 miles. Was glad to have the assist for the ride back, as it was a tough headwind for the second half of the ride. It's my commuter eBike and I have a phone holder on the handlebar, which is nice because it allows the use of Google Maps, which has a cycle-specific routing option and is so intuitive. Temps got into the upper 50s; and it was sunny.

  • This morning I took the gravel eBike again, to save my legs. Just 2 miles with "ECO" assistance.
  • Tonight's ride is "Moderate Monday", a weekly ride for my club that I started last year, which is moderate for a stronger rider, but near 100% effort for me. Best I've done is 17.4 mph average. More usual is 16 mph average. Tonight will probably be more like 15, as it's early season and there is one new rider and one seasoned rider who isn't as fast coming. It's supposed to be well into the 60s today and sunny. 10-20 mph winds though, which will surely cause some complaining.
