New Bike Day! I scored an unbelievable deal on a Canyon Grail:ON gravel e-bike and took it out for its first serious ride today. Its big, with a rather tall size large frame carrying 50mm Schwalbes on DT Swiss rims, but even my eyeball fit was very comfortable to ride. The original Grails have the funky biplane "hover bars" and the shifters and 1x mech are SRAM eTap. I took well to both. The hover bars let you hang stuff on the lower bar and ride on the upper tops. They also have a very nice position in the drops where you can hook your thumbs around the lower bar for security. I stayed in "Eco" mode mostly, bumping up to "Tour" into the wind. "Sport" and "Turbo" modes let you go a full 30 mph in traffic (like on Casement) or just go stupid fast (as I did out on Hunter's Island). Also new are my Favero Assioma MX-2 MTB power meter pedals, getting their first ride today as well. It was partly cloudy with winds variably northerly at about 8 mph gusting to 17 mph; 82°F temperature and about 58% relative humidity. Just warm and humid enough to work up a respectable sweat.
