Pic of the Day

[MOG]

A little loop around home to mae most of sunshine and lack of bracken. Absolutely stunning out.

Had exactly the same yesterday riding with wife Angie. Doing our favourite 20 mile Venus Woods loop had toasties at the Cadence Café in Cocking on the South Downs Way.

While sitting there didn't notice that a South Westerly* had picked up and had to use a lot of assistance just to fight the wind getting home.

* that's wind coming from the SW btw

I do love that you're able to go riding with the wife and still have time for a bit of Cocking.

Suns out and a day off so out towards Kenknock from Killin. Only did 17 miles as fitness has not turned up yet but really enjoyed being out again.

Schoolboy error yesterday, did a loop with the homeward leg along the beach into a brutal headwind. Should have gone the other way round.

Headwinds don't exist on Ebikes, I always tell my wife that anyway.

If you're out in the open, it's surprising the difference a headwind makes !

Rode to and from Badminton last night. 30+kph wind.

To Badminton - into wind.

From Badminton - wind behind (stopped recording some of the ride through the garden on the way back hence the tiny differences in range/altitude)

Huge difference in speeds/time taken and calories.

Oh yeah .. it's pic of the day .. the dog was down wind (similar speeds) the day before and picked up overspray ...

You've either too much time on your hands , or you really need a good drink.

That was the warm up, before my run ..

@Binhill1 Are you getting a g3 or a g4 ???

 

[Just gan]

@Binhill1 Are you getting a g3 or a g4 ???

G4 is overated I've been told from a very very reliable source . So be a G3 . I'm not convinced anything else is any better motor wise . Ebike will go forevermore if commuting or you weigh around 70 kg I believe.

G4 is really really nice on the motor front, but for day to day you won't notice any difference.

G3 is pretty top notch, so maybe 5% "improvement" bit that's down to semantics .

Potentially with main battery and range extender you have a CHUNK more, but hell, 700wh, you're pretty fecked !!!

I was told g4 be expensive. I had a great spin on gen 2 today and thought do I really need or want a new bike but , no pockets in a shroud .

 

[Just gan]

Yes I'm 70 this year if I cycle 4 hours it takes me 7 if that makes sense. Two years warranty from a great dealer , try and hold me back. Tried Inverness dealer for Gen 3 can't get one.

I'd say a five mile section on the flat did about 30% of the battery on that ride, definitely noticeable.

I haven't looked. Which way ? Was already depleted from the bar run and wasn't full before that.

Interestingly, as I'm a bafang convert, the jam makes for far easier ( and faster) riding and with better efficiency, but it's on loan to a mate with osteoporosis. The Myth rides better though on the fun stuff.

On the clock only 5 and 7 o'clock are classed às a tail wind the rest is a headwind. That's in a helicopter though.

 

[RustyMTB]

Haven't done that for a while. Last time I was in one, we had to wait for a plane to land before we were allowed to cross over the Gatwick runway. My daughter enjoyed flying me around though.
