Wanted to try another route to Paradise via the east park entrance and up thru box canyon. Forecast was for 70 at Paradise and it can get hot on the east side so today was the day. Drove thru mist enough for windshield wipers most of the way to Ashford. Stayed overcast and cool most of the day with very light traffic most of the way. When the sun broke thru, it got hot real fast and then the weather changed again just before Reflction Lakes. Cold wind blowing across the lake with clouds and mist. Threw on what available extra clothers I had but not enough. Visibility went south and by the time I got to the turn-off for Paradise, It was pretty miserable and traffic was heading down. With the mist and poor visibility, it made no sense to bike the last 2 miles to Paradise. Time to get down and it was cold and miserable until I got to Longmire.
Data: Used no assist until 3 miles from east entry to the park and then level 1 assist the rest of the way. At park entrance, 38 miles, battery read 94%
At mile 58, where I headed down, the battery read 58% so I used some of it to get to Ashford.
So in total, I used level 1 for approximately 20 miles and used 42% of the batter. About what I would expect especially since I was grinding at 5-6 mph for the 20 miles uphill.
