Wife said I could drive today, but I took the ebike. I would just be angry and yelling at people in the first two miles if I drove.

Stopped to do some shopping yesterday, and then decided to take home a route that I hadn't been on for a while. It's a dirt trail that goes through a park; it cuts two miles off my regular 10-mile route home, but it's very steep. Since I hadn't done it for a while, I didn't realize how overgrown it was, and it wasn't terribly pleasant. I'm also still getting used to this thing on dirt. There's another alternative with a little dirt section I can do, but there's steep approach to get to it. Probably just go back to my regular pavement route for a while.

Today on the way in I passed a guy grinding up the hill. I felt bad as I passed him, spinning in a low gear. He was mashing in a high gear, and I just wanted to say, "Dude, shift down." But I just said hi and continued on.
