Grateful to ride this day
Some of the first foothills into the Cascades east of Seattle = Cougar Mt (1600’) & Tiger Mt (highest of the ‘peaks’ 3000’) and sorta in between there is another hilltop. If caught between a Cougar and a Tiger, don’t Squak much. So be it. ….or so a story said.
These are my easy rolling roads, close to home.
a pause in the action

While the name lacks typical Swiss economy the bike is as fun as the name is lengthy. Had it less than a week so nothing meaningful to report on all those popular parameters, like range.
Essentially a gravel bike with TQ e-drivetrain, and those drive components total a hair over 8#, per the specs. Bike as set up here is 30# on the nose.
Three user-programmable boost options plus no boost if you're deadheading home or feeling guilty. Hills? We have none. Someday I shall try one. Handles like a better road bike and I have been at ease riding it beginning with my demo. These guys know how to design a bike.
IDK why the majority of e-bikes seem to be monochrome--big fan of visibility, which this has.
Cheers,
Rick

My new Cannondale Adventure Neo Allroad E-Bike in Rockport, Massachusetts ... A very nice bike, even in non e-Bike mode.

3 hour ride. Started in upper 40*s. Early Fall in the air. Smaller maples going yellow in spots.
Extra battery gives more range than I can test in a day, even on the higher power settings.
Nice road at base of first mountain ridges north of Mt Rainer Natl Park
Clouds but no real threat of rain here. edit: 45mph = hahaha, a sports car club road if there ever was one. Not many today, tho'.

Always thankful to post a riding day like this
This is why I bought an e-bike, days like today. Up to the Rainier Natl Park’s Sunrise Visitor’s Center. Guessing 5000’ of elevation gain in the ride, more ‘climbing’ given all the ups and downs. About 45 miles.
10 miles all UP, top elevation ~6400 ft
Only my old phone camera, never does it justice
Nothing really open, late in season. First snowfall at 6400’ has melted out
A bit down the hill toward Mt Ranier
Only pic of the bike today
Alpine lakes and distant ridges
Vintage road marker on Hwy410 at the White River entrance to Mt Rainier park
6 miles UP to my night’s hotel.
But it is a pretty climb.
Have done today’s ride before buying electric assist. Years later now, I can do it again … with a smile. And ride the day before and after with a smile. ~130 miles over 3 days.

I purchased this yard find for $60 (CL). The Micargi frame was prepared and painted (I don't name my bikes, but this may end up the Black 'n Blue Behemoth); cleaned and polished the chrome; and removed corrosion from the aluminum parts, then polished them. I hoped that either the cruiser or motor would be functional; turns out both were. Still work to do.

hello
My first ever e-bike, just picked this up a couple weeks ago, and made a few changes already. I swapped out the stock 42t chainring for a 34t, among other things. I still need to install an Aeroe dry bag cradle over the front fender as I will be using this bike as a bikepacking rig as well. I already have a set of old Ortlieb panniers.
I also ordered shorter, 155mm cranks for my 29” inseam. I’ll be able to spin better.

I took my new e-bike out on a short, bikepacking overnighter at a local trail camp over the weekend….

Your camping is almost glamping. My wife and I have considered this, but I'm not even a big proponent of car camping, so reluctant. Her desire to ride MTB's (no "e") is another deterrent since possibly I would have much of the load on my bike.

hello
And the only time I would even consider car camping is when we take our little grandkids with us…

Latest exercise in anti-boredom activity; bling from the bike box and a $200 direct drive kit from the e-giant. The rear wheel weighed 18 pounds, controller and other items in the kit two or three, and the bike 38. On the stand 34 mph, although I can connect two wires to keep it at 20 max. It's going to be harder than usual to hide the excess wires, so they'll need to be shortened.
