E-Bikes

By the time I had punched the ticket on all of the tasks I had planned it was in the afternoon. I made one loop to the town South and came home and put my dinner in the smoker. I made another loop to the town South and tended to my meat in the smoker and then rode a couple of times around town and then put my bike up. I only logged 30 miles but had a great time and didn't burn my dinner.:) It was cooler again today and was still windy from the North. Tomorrow is supposed to be warm. I'll be riding once I get home from my late AM cardiologist appointment.
 
Today was much like yesterday. The high exceeded the forecast and the wind was gusty from the North. I rode 33 miles and called it a day. I saw only two riders in town and one on the sidewalk South. It wasn't ideal riding weather and a week day. I suspect I'll see more tomorrow. It's too nice to be roosting inside.
 
Yesterday was not much better for riding. I again logged 33 miles and came home to warm up. It was so lousy that I saw nobody riding. I didn't think it was show stopping weather and my buddy with my old bike didn't either. I guess we are addicts. :) The high today is to be 60° with a 16 mph wind.
 
I was the only diehard riding today. 24 miles and I was done. It was cold and it was windy. I logged a 47 mph gust while I was out riding. Glad I rode but it was more work than fun today.
 
It was simply too crummy to ride yesterday. It only reached the mid fifties again today but there was very little wind. It was cloudy and rain was in the forecast but the radar wasn't intimidating so I rode. I bundled up and headed South. I no more reached the town South and it started sprinkling. I beat it back North and was soon out of the rain. I decided I'd continue to ride but close to home in case it started raining again. It didn't take long and I had to ride home after only riding fifteen miles. It was better than not riding at all.

The color display my buddy and I have ordered have arrived in the USA. First they flew into Los Angeles and then to Dallas. It then went to Grand Prairie where it awaits being assigned a USPS tracking number. I'm starting to have faith it will actually show up sometime. :)
 
The weather exceeded the forecast so I had to do my riding around smoking some ribs for dinner. I rode some, came home and attended my cook, went riding again only to cut it short to remove my cook to rest. It was a hassle but well worth it. It was a beautiful afternoon with nearly no wind and zero clouds. I only rode 22 miles but it sure felt great!

The colored display I have ordered is supposed to be delivered tomorrow. I'm excited to hook it up and hope it is more viewable in the sunlight. I'm really hoping it fixes my old bike's problem of not being able to change assist levels for my buddy. I never had a minutes problem with the display but my buddy didn't ride 100 miles before it showed up. Made me feel bad. I sold the bike so cheap that he can afford to fix it and lots of other problems that might crop up. :)

added.. With daylight savings time, I was able to ride some more after dinner. I managed another 18 miles before the sun was low enough that I was getting chilled.

The new display was delivered just before noon. It took no time at all to physically install it and the setup was plenty easy. It wasn't long before I was out riding and testing the display. It is a huge upgrade. Not only is there more information being displayed but it can be easily seen in full daylight.

The third box down on the left is a trip odometer. It is reflecting the miles I rode before dinner. There is no option to eliminate this display item and resetting it requires a short combination of buttons to access the settings, then scroll to the trip, and then toggle a reset to clear it back to zero. I know there has to be an easier reset. The old display could show total miles or a trip. A two button hold would reset which ever was being displayed. I never used the trip odometer. Being as Juiced is gone and not many upgrade displays in use, I can't find any information. I'll figure it out or I'll find somebody that has. Beyond that, I'm super happy with the upgrade.

For a Monday, I saw quite a few riders today. It was a super nice day to be riding. I logged 66 miles of fun today.
