More biking
Saturday I was able to (cheaply) upgrade my front sprockets from 42/32/22 to 52/42/32 teeth. This makes me very happy. It means that I can actually pedal at a reasonable speed along with the motor. Thus I can get more exercise since I'll have resistance to my pedalling.
In fact, I was able to pedal, feeling some resistance, even at 26+ mph down a hill on the way to work today.
I biked on Sunday down to a bike shop in Redmond and then up to gaming and home from there after. On the way to gaming I went up the steepest hill I've yet tried: up 98th from 202. On the steepest part I was in my lowest gear (of the new gearing) and was only going 5MPH, but I was going, and I made it. 14.5 miles total.
Today was the only day this week I got up early enough to ride to work, so once again only once this week... need to get back to the 2-3 target next week.
