Forget the PR's from Longmire to Paradise. Was playing/collecting data to see how much range and altitude I can get out of the 250 watt battery. Weather cooling a bit but wanted an 8:00 start from Ashford. Also to test biking from Longmire to Paradise on de-rated level 2 assist and then return to Paradise on level 1 which would give me 12+ miles at level 2 and 2 miles at level 1. Have collected data at de-rated level 1 from Longmire to Paradise before and want to compare. Big big difference in climbing speed at level 2 but it burns battery twice as fast even though the climbing speed is almost double. Home after black berry pie and salmon burger at Ashford bunk house. Data: Skip joining me with agreement that I would lead from Longmire and it was way too fast a pace for him, even when he was a level 3 trying to catch up. But he was a good sport about this change. He rode level 1 from the park entrance and I did not turn my battery on until Longmire Mile 12.8 Longmire: 100% Mile 18.9 at look out on level 2 75% Mile 22.1 at turn out to Paradise 60% Mile 24.39 Paradise 50% return to mile 22.1 Mile 24.39 at level 1 43% Mile 53.4 Ashford no assist 43%
