Show us pictures of where you ride your ebikes!

Yesterday's ride took me on several miles of of a delightful but rough forest road through the Brimfield State Forest in Massachusetts. It was a new route for me and my map does not designate surface types on public roads. The Homage with Rock Razors handled it well. It would have been far more challenging with my Magnum hub drive.

Part of my commute!

I joined a few of my regular roady friends for a 48 mile up to Artist Point on the slope of Mount Baker. We started the ride at the town of Glacier, elevation 1,000 feet. The half way mark was at 5,000 feet, The 25 mile ride up took 60% of two batteries. The ride back down took 10%. It was freekin awsome!! The ride up was a steady, unrelenting grind with spectacular alpine scenery all around. The ride down was fast, furious and fun. By the time we got to the bottom of the mountain, my hands and wrists ached. They are still shaky as I type this post.

It looks like such an awesome ride, amazing photos to remember your day by 43.4mph max speed, you beat my descent last night by 1mph its such a buzz That's why I love my e bike so much, you can get to the top of a big climb pain free and then enjoy the descent

Funny, the part of me that was the most sore this morning was my hands and wrists. 12 miles dropping 3,000 feet, with no uphill at 5-7% grade 30-40 mph braking down to 25 round the hairpins, total concentration, holding onto the grips with a thumb and two fingers, two fingers on the brake levers, making sure bumps in the road don't shake my hands off the grips, I had to get off the bike at the bottom of the big drop and shake out my hands for a minute before continuing onward. That was something new!

Do you use gel gloves? They help a little. In Vancouver some people do a circuit of the 3 local ski hills in a single day! It is over 2100 meters / 6800 feet. They call it the cycling triple crown. Now you have inspired me and I am going to do it! https://cyclingmagazine.ca/sections/ridesevents/48-hours-in/48-hours-vancouver-triple-crown/

New GoPro Hero 7 Day:

Nice day here in NH rode to New Boston NH all pictures are in New Boston. One of the interesting things about New Boston is the history of the Gravity Research Foundation founded by Roger Babson who also founded Babson College in Wellsley MA. Look him up on Wikipedia. The gravity center is now Mollys Tarvern. Roger picked New Boston for the center because it was more then 60 miles from Boston MA and he felt it could survive a nuclear attack. He wanted to harness gravity to use as a power source.

It sounds like a real white knuckle ride!

It sounds like a real white knuckle ride!

I couldn't tell what color my knuckles were as I was wearing gloves

It was totally exhilarating...the big payoff for the unrelenting climb. The fastest 12 miles ever, in Eco mode, no pedaling and it used 1% of the battery (for head and tail light, i presume).

I did use gel gloves. The ache came from holding on so tight not impact or vibration. The Delight has a well tuned Fox suspension.

A 56 mile ride I did in early July on the Armstrong Trail near Kittanning PA.

Many scenic views along the Allegheny River


The Belmar Bridge which once carried the New York Central Railroad across the Allegheny. It has since been converted for use by the Sandy Creek Rail Trail.


Dam and lock #9. Part of the waterway which allows navigation from the Ohio River above Pittsburgh.


Pennsylvania has a rich railroad heritage and it's nice to see part of it preserved along these rail trails.

The old Redbank Coaling Tower


The east portal of the old Brady Tunnel. Restoration is underway to allow the Armstrong to become part of the Erie / Pittsburgh trail.

Yeah that is my favorite bike of your excellent collection!

I'm sure they were white under the gloves 45mph gusts here today so I decided to use the motorbike this time, at 462lbs it was the safer option! I did see a very brave cyclist on a carbon road bike braving the side winds at over 1000ft, I could feel it on the motorbike so I'm sure he wasn't enjoying it...

today I scouted out the 3 local ski hills for a suitable triple crown assault route. I only went across the the base of the largest two hills and to the top of the smallest hill. From my home it was 93 km return. I am thinking I will need to drive to the base of the first hill in order to climb them all in one day.

Stopped by Meadowood Mountain Bike trail in Lorton, Va. I took the Radwagon down from Arlington. I packed (2) 52v 17ah batteries, one in each pannier, and a 48v 13.5 ah in the frame bag. With all the extra weight, the ride down used up all my frame battery (25 miles one way with some really steep roads in Lorton that I had to climb). I spend this morning adding wires from each pannier bag so I could easily switch the controller to another battery.

I figured 2416 watts was enough to get me there an back.

I also carried a cooler bag in one pannier with some bottles of water and plenty of food and hand wipes in the top bag. I used up 40% of one of the 17ah batteries on the way back. The third battery was probably overkill but just in case.

Roller skiers (and past and possibly future Olympic athletes) on the East Chewuch Road:

Today I made a successful attempt of the North Shore Triple Crown (to climb all 3 local ski hills in a day ). Odometer reads 139 km. It was the first time I used the "walk" feature on the Bosch and boy I was glad to have it, I dropped down and crossed a small bridge over a creek/river and found myself at the bottom of a super steep rocky trail up to the street. The bike was fully laden and I would not have made it up there without the help. Anyways when I got to the top of the first climb ( Mt Seymour ,which is the biggest and steepest of the 3 ) this fellow was there to keep me humble.

Next was Grouse Mtn. ( the smallest). Here I saw two guys do a tandem glide and land in a park surrounded by nothing but tall trees. I think they began their descent from the 3rd mountain (Cypress/Hollyburn)
