Going to be a great week for biking. Skip wants to do another Paradise ride on Weds so today was suppose to be a light warm up. But I wanted some hills and keep experimenting with the assist levels in 1, 2 and 3. I think 1 is set for 50%, 2 for 60% and 3 at 100%. Logic being that I should not need any assist when it is essentially level or slight uphill and just use the mechanical shifting to be comfortable. Obviously need no assist going down hill When I need level 1, I can supplement the gears and maintain cadence and speed. Level two assist is a big jump and level 3 is a huge assist on hills like Orchard Ave etc. Seems to be working and maintaining the battery life.
Small world. I stopped for water at a local mom and pop store and got to talking to a guy riding a Rad Power Bike, where Chris works. Just talking about bike stuff and places fun to bike but eventually discovered that he just moved to Olalla and is staying with his brother who is virtually my next door neighbor.
