Me and "Big Juggy," my Biktrix Juggernaut Ultra 1000, have been all over the peaks and foothills of the North Cascades this summer; pix below are from Lyman Hill and Bowman Mountain near Bellingham, WA.

Did my usual ride into our nearby Provincial Park this morning... generally a bit over 2 hours/30 km. At this rate, I’ll rack up about 7500 in a year, counting a slowdown or stoppage for the winter. Have been looking for trails in the unused/unmapped parts of the park, and found a beauty today, about 3 km long, grassy open forest. Put up a couple of deer surprised to see anyone I guess.

Just got my 1st Ebike. Love it. Starting off by exploring the local surrounds in central Maryland. I plan to do the C&O/GAP trail from DC to Pittsburgh next month.

After reading posts from people who describe themselves as "fit, athletic" types who still bother to ride ebikes I thought I would check to see if I fit that demographic. Couple of days ago rode a mountain bike with street tires 39 miles, had to get off and push the bike up almost a mile over the steepest stuff with 10+% grades - got home sweaty and exhausted - nope, not fit/athletic. So yesterday I took my ebike for what turned out to be a 64 mile, "metric century" ride with over 3,000ft total elevation gain per google maps. I probably rode half or so without assist but would have had to walk and push a regular pedal bike a lot, or likely wouldn't have been able to complete the ride. Ended up with 23% left out of a 400W battery. So not fit or athletic, far from it, but able to enjoy a longish strenuous ride nonetheless.

I only took a couple of pictures, and not of the trash heaps, tents, broken down vehicles with people living in them along the Columbia.
So sad that what was a beautiful, clean and relatively safe city as Portland has become such a national disgrace. Outside of Portland still beautiful, at least for the time being.

Beautiful photos... thanks for sharing. It sounds like you are pretty fit to complete a 100K ride!

Looks like you are riding a BH Gravel-X bike... can you tell us about the modifications you made?

Glad to see that the Columbia River wilderness has not been destroyed by the nonsense in Portland.
 
If your body is ready for more and your battery isn't, you might be fitter than you think. If I ever outlast even my small battery, I will celebrate ... and then buy a backup battery. 😃

Meandering locally as the heat and humidity will allow. Sticking to the gravel roads because they are peaceful and relaxing, especially when the sun tries to set you on fire if you venture out into it too long. I have the perfect 9 mile loop on beautifully maintained 100% tree shaded and woodside gravel roads with pastoral and mountain views, starting and ending at my own driveway.

A local landowner 2 miles up the road had hired a crew to cut down some old, diseased trees along his mile of road frontage. The tree crew swiftly dispatched two trees, but when they felled and started cutting up the remains of the third tree they found, much to their hasty retreat, a very very VERY large bee hive in the rotted core of the tree trunk. They told the landowner, who placed a call to the local beekeeper up the road to come collect the bees if she wanted them. This is her in the photo above, dressed to evaluate what needed to be done to "relocate" the colony to her hives. She told me later the bees were "very angry" and to take care when passing by the felled tree. I know I would be angry, too, if somebody chopped down my custom designed "condominium". From the size of the honeycombs inside the rotten core of the tree, those bees had been in residence for a very long time.

I hope she managed to salvage the colony before the fierce thunderstorms we had last night. Nice lady. Sells great honey.
