2026 - Our Rides in Words, Photos, Maps and Videos

[mschwett]

i planned this morning's ride to be exactly 30 miles and 3000 feet of climbing. it turned out to be 30.21 miles and 3019 feet

it was kind of fun to roll around some neighborhoods i never, ever spend time in but i missed a few of the grades, and a few spots were really too steep for my gearing and power levels.

the hills of the ride are, in sequence

rincon hill (what remains of it lol)
potrero hill
bernal hill
philosopher's hill
twin peaks
lincoln heights
rob hill
russian hill

Where’d the Creo go?

Where’d the Creo go?

oh, i haven't had it in years! as i rode more i almost always used it without assist, so i got the aethos, and then sold the creo. then after a few years the health issues came back so i got the addict e-ride. i still have it (obviously) and the aethos, which i ride only for pretty easy rides now to keep the exertion levels low and steady, no serious climbing.

i wish spesh would make an actual road e-bike. i have my eye on the fastlane, pros and cons of that relative to the addict. main pro, quiet, a little lighter. main con, doesn't use standard crankset like the addict.
