Working ‘over the side’ in a local Harbour today. And had to be on-Site for 6-6.30am to catch low tide.

………which culminated in a (Warmer than yesterday) 4.30am out the door to do so.

Pleasant way to start a Friday say I……

A longer trip with two batteries.
Using the system is getting easier with experience, as I'm sure the dedicated e-bikers will confirm.
Nice day for it!
Wildlife: saw an odd-looking twig on the path just through the first gates between Clearbrook and Yelverton. Slow worm! It looked liked he'd been passed closely by a couple of bikes and had just frozen in place. Guided him off the path in the direction he appeared to be heading in, and he happily sltherred off.
Problems: I've realised that when the motor is on, it doesn't allow one to back-pedal to mount. Irritating, but there it is. Also, I need to sort out a decent seat for the very upright position I now use. Tried a generic mtb saddle. Nope. Had the Charge Spoon on today. Still nope, but it did improve with adjustment. More research needed. I also need to get really good shorts with a better pad...any recommendations?

Always subjective as what one person likes is one someone else hates. If you use Strava there are often discounts on Le Col which are generally well regarded.

Tuesday-Friday this week; I’ve managed over 130 miles on the bike 😁 And over 50 hours at work 😠 I’m officially ‘pooped’.

Today’s ride home felt suitably ‘tough’. Much as I’ve loved this week commuting in - this weekend the bike can ‘do one’ !
