Yesterday, the missus and I did a 21 mi coast, lagoon, and hill ride with brunch and coffee stops as rewards. Negative caloric balance was NOT achieved, but we did climb 74 ft/mi in the process.
The rolling coast ride came first, with a tasty brunch stop for machaco tacos on the sand at Moonlight Beach. The blue
Velotric Breeze is hers.
The low-traffic lagoon segment offers peaceful water overlooks with climbs that get your attention at both ends. Looks like low tide.
The reward for climbing up to the coffee stop was a blueberry crumble on that comfy outdoor sofa. From there, it was back through the lagoon segment and home.
K thoroughly enjoyed herself – even on the hills. This would've been unthinkable with her first ebike — a 70 lb 500W torque-sensing hub-drive commuter. But now — with her 50 lb 750W hub-drive cruiser with both with torque- and cadence-sensing assist modes — she's usually the one waiting on me.
Trust me, this is politically preferable to the other way around. Also energetically preferable, cuz now I can get in some exercise on our rides together.
