Since rain is confined to at least one season, normally late fall via spring, in our space, it will get actually dry in the summertime. This has been made worse in recent times due to our drought. So I all the time look ahead to having the hillsides flip inexperienced after the primary rains of the 12 months. I used to be pleased to see that on my journey as we speak, after the numerous rainfall we obtained per week in the past (with extra hopefully quickly on the best way).

Final Tuesday I went on a bunch journey with an extended stretch towards a headwind. I loved giving a few of the riders who had been combating the wind the advantage of a draft behind me on my e-bike. The issue was that I used to be hunched over the handlebars for a very long time whereas using in entrance. Often, I keep away from this by frequent standing breaks which makes me extra upright, however that doesn’t present nearly as good of a draft. So on yesterday’s solo journey I took the identical bike and experimented. It seems I’ve the choice of sitting extra upright with my handlebar setup. Usually that’s not really helpful as it’s much less aerodynamic (it’s known as the “sit up and beg” place by riders who think about themselves “severe”). However that’s not a problem on an e-bike, you possibly can simply overcome the elevated wind resistance by bumping up the help stage. I attempted that out as we speak, taking upright seated breaks sometimes, and no backache. Drawback solved!
