On Tuesday I rode with my group within the hills East of Gilroy. We began on the parking zone of Harvey Bear park on the Mendoza ranch entrance off Roop highway. I carpooled to the beginning with journey chief Kris. My journey to her home is posted right here. The group rode out Gilroy Scorching Springs highway to the tip, then got here again to Canada highway. On the flip onto Canada is the CalFire station the place I had my accident in October. Buddies requested if driving by there for me introduced again something traumatic, however I mentioned no as a result of I don’t keep in mind the incident! We continued on Canada until it turns left on Jamison highway, and rode that until its finish, which is on the prime of a steep little “stinger within the tail” of a climb, the did one other out and again stretch on a distinct a part of Canada rode. The group determined so as to add in a detour down Coyote lake highway on the best way again. That may be a fairly journey however I used to be chilly up within the hills, not having worn sufficient layers, so I made a decision to only journey dwelling as an alternative. The group journey plus my journey dwelling are posted right here. I burned up nearly all the rest of my battery on my approach dwelling as a result of there was a headwind so I used turbo mode many of the approach which is quick and enjoyable however not economica.

Yesterday I rode my bike to the dentist, 16 miles away in South San Jose. I didn’t wish to be tremendous sweaty after I obtained there so used a number of turbo on the best way and obtained there in 62 minutes. I needed to nurse my battery on the best way dwelling in order that took 91 minutes.

I believe I’ll let my e-bike relaxation a number of days now as I labored it arduous two days in a row.
