I could have ridden to the hwy for another 8?km dirt & 15km tar, but when I got to the gate at ~20km, I still had 58% battery. Returning meant more climbs, I was keen to see how the battery went on a tough outing, so back the way I'd come it was. 😁

My default E is L2+max boost, but I used L3+ on the Cat climbs, & L4+ when needed - less than expected! I don't stand on climbs. No need with Es 😂

Here's a brief (4 mins) clip from my Narrowneck ride - heading back, down the narrows & up that short bastard climb - mostly @100%+max - includes heart re-starter stop. You can tell I'm working... You can hear the motor sound on the climb. Still noisy, but a lower pitched tone than most other brands.

As you can see, spectacular views. I'll do a longer clip once I get my act together on the editing front!

Another good ride I'd really struggle on without my #eMTB. Assist gets me up hills where my current fitness simply wouldn't. If I rode acoustic, I wouldn't attempt this ride. Unlike the old, fit days, the hills back would be an unpleasant slog/walk. As it was, I spent 83% of the ride in the two highest HR zones... Oops. Mr Garmin says 72hrs rest!

Just over 33km, 530m ascent. Mostly 50%+max boost, and 75%+max. Some 100%+max. 38% battery remaining. 1250 cal.

A yellow and blue mountain bike leans against a tree at Lost World lookout. In the background, bushland on the other side of the valley can be seen. Just behind the bike is a white cross, erected in memory of a bushwalker. No, he didn't meet his end here.A yellow and blue mountain bike leans against an angophora costata tree. The bark is rippled and dimpled but smooth, greyish pink. This is a holey tree. With an E. Two trunks have joined a few metres above the ground. The background is green bushland, and blue sky - only a few white clouds.A panoramic view from Lost World lookout, looking towards the lower Blue Mountains. On the far right is the cross, atop an exposed sandstone cliff. The rock has grey-green, grey-purple, and golden hues. Most of the photo shows bushland hills and valleys. Sydney is on the horizon, but needs a better camera. The sky is blue with grey and white clouds.

I rode to Faulconbridge Point, a popular #BlueMountains bike ride/walk, ending at a lookout 100s of metres above the Grose River. Lots of rain seepage in patches, but only one big puddle near the lookout. A few other riders & walkers were also enjoying the beautiful day.

At one point, my cadence sensor got wonky - controls assist levels, but it cleared up. Dirt, I hope.

41km return, 48% battery remaining, 523m climbing, ~2hrs riding mostly @50% +max boost

The Grose River flows through the green bush of Blue Mountains National Park, far below the viewer. Some rapids are visible, suggesting flow is still high. A large chunk of mottled sandstone is visible in the left. Taken with 5x zoom.This view zoomed back to 1x. A significant section of sandstone in grey and pale yellow and some grass and small trees fill the bottom diagonal half. The top half is dominated by the greens and blues of the bush of the Blue Mountains National Park. Although we can hear the river, it looks quite small at this zoom level.

If you zoom right into the horizon, you'll notice a small patch of white, about 1/3 of the way from the right. This is hail protection at one of the famed Bilpin apple orchards along Bells Line of Road.

#eMTB

7 years without riding a bike, & I'm back, baby. Now on an emtb.

Frankly, thank deity for e. My first ride still nearly killed me, and I would have turned for home much earlier on an analogue bike. More honestly, I wouldn't have left home...

Bikes have changed in 7 years, 29ers, wide bars, low BB, long build, short cranks, one chainring, flip chips, & e, lovely e... And damn it's heavy. I'll have to get stronger to get it over gates to some rides!

A light blue and yellow e-mountain bike leans against a small tree on rocky ground in Australian bushland. A grey helmet is hanging from the bars on the far side. The bike is a Rocky Mountain Altitude PowerPlay A30 Coil. It has already been crashed.
