Show us pictures of where you ride your ebikes!

Yesterday and today were shorter rides. Weather was excellent, just no time for a longer adventure.
I did 22km yesterday and 30km today, so a little over 50 this weekend is OK for me under the circumstances.
Also, I'm very happy with the new battery. Last week started at 99%. That was a 40km ride. Add that to yesterday and today and I've gone 92km with 37% left.
Most batteries I believe lose power rapidly at 20% and under, so to me getting tantamount to 100km out of a charge is stellar.
Stopped at a local park and watched the opening inning of a beer league slow pitch game. Looked like fun but the batting was a crap ton better than the fielding.



The Greenway was open and inviting. I ended up getting to be the 8th fastest on the segment to Tynehead Park on Strava...



Water break...



Heading home...



Time for a beer...

That's the one!
Totally passable without getting wet now. Where did you get to on the greenway?

Pictures from my ride today,..

I used to watch the Red Fisher show every week when I was a kid.
I didn't know that he was from Mitchell's Bay until I saw it on the sign.

I'd ride there just to see that replica of my first car.

If you have a selfie in your old leopard skin outfit, please keep it to yourself!

Fair enough. I'll dig out the one in the ostrich feather outfit instead.

Haze as a result of wildfire smoke has returned but rated only as moderate risk. It was quite visible this morning but otherwise still pleasant enough for a 30km ride.

Watershed Park to Mud Bay and back. Got my first flat just after going through that damn puddle........

Easy to see why it's called Mud Bay:

Mowed the lawn, then grocery shopping, then off for a ride around 12:30pm today on the Delta flats...

40 kms at 25C, and guess what time it is?

A place I often take pictures of along a rail trail. I always like the big sky and vast field here.

It’s been a dreadful week with smoke permeating the air pretty much 24/7. Mornings aren’t so bad but the rest of the day is shot to Hell.

I wonder sometimes what police are up to when they randomly park along the side of a relatively deserted country roadside. I have seen drivers speed down this stretch from time to time but I think the cops would have better luck ticketing offenders on a busier thoroughfare. The other roadie heading in the opposite direction might have been thinking the same. I’m sure he had a good reason for stopping.

Shortly before I turned onto this road, I was passed by a younger couple on their e-bikes and we said our good mornings to each other before they sped off ahead. So that’s what that feels like.

Went to a ghost town. Centralia,PA where an underground coal fire has been burning since May 27,1962. The fire cannot be put out and the town was taken by eminent domain. Only 5 residents still live there. A very strange place indeed, and listed as one of the most haunted in the USA. The old streets are still there, but the houses are gone. Notice the smoke in one of the photos hovering over one of the roads.

I have only driven thru Centralia, but years past it was a big bike ride destination. @J.R. and @6zfshdb were there way back when.

Bummer about the smoke. I can't believe how lucky we've been here.
Regarding the ebikers, I blew past a couple of them today, just for fun...

I’ve seen what the conditions are like in northern AB and BC and it’s not pretty so, yeah, I think we are fairing relatively better here.

As for being passed by the e-bikers, I didn’t feel bad considering that we were on analog bikes. Boy, they sure had huge grins on their faces though. I’m not sure if I would have reacted the same had I been riding the Creo.

Good to know that you had a clean ride.
