Beautiful Friday weather but really nasty wet weather coming so last opportunity to bike outside for 4-5 days. Late start but plan was to get a 70 mile ride in with lots of elevation. Entrance to the park via the SW Rainier gate is now by reservation from 7-3 so was not sure what to expect and it was a Friday. Hmmmm. Left Ashford at 10:30 and there were 20-30 cars backed up at the entrance. Not sure if I was suppose to get in line or slip past all the cars on the right as it would irritate people in cars (and it did). Then another biker showed up and without hesitating biked past all the cars so I followed suit. Mt. Rainier out in all her glory. Stunning new white snow with more forecasted this weekend. Not going to be a good weekend for people who have signed up and paid for a 3 day Mt. Rainier summit experience. Data: Started late with main battery and range extender (RE) at approx 98% L0 from Ashford to Longmire L1 from Longmire to paradise (RE not turned on) main battery at 63% Back to Longmire Battery at 63% mileage at 35.48 Longmire to look out post on L2? mileage at 41.89 Main battery @30%? Turned on RE at mile 41,89 and immediately the RE started charging the main battery and held it around 40%% while the RE discharged. 2nd Paradise summit, the main battery was 40% and the RE was 25%
