Over the hills...

That was good fun and some fantastic views.
31+ miles, 4300+ ft climbing and only 54% of the battery used (although I only use the motor when I need it).

Anywhere near Allenheads, by any chance ? It looks familiar…

 

[SteveH80]

Not Allenhead but not too far away.
Middleton-in-Teesdale to Stanhope, up Weardale on the little road through Brotherlee then back over Swinhope Head to Newbiggin.

That's why I think Ebikes are fantastic.

My Mrs would never of thought to do this mileage and climbing on/off road without electric assist.

But she did with an ebike, I built for her

Yep, ebikes are great fun.
They are of course another way of cheating, but cycling is built on a long history of cheating from professional medication, to chemicals, to eight squillion gears, to feather weight carbon fibre so what's wrong with a little electric motor
I'm not sure about the CO2 saved though, by the time I wheezed and exhaled by way up their I'm sure I've made a net contribution
