Is the elevation gain a typo?

No typo. The ride was actually pretty flat for the most part, with just gradual inclines over long distance, with the odd short sharp climb thrown in for good measure.

This one was 4,987ft over just 7.1 miles.

Is that Julie Andrews I can see holding your bike up??

G

Nah he's in the wrong country for that .

 

[chris_n]

The wettest and coldest that I have ever been during a ride. On road and off road, ridden using just eco mode and one battery, with a bit still left in reserve. 52.5 miles with an elevation gain of 7,666ft.

So bad that you went downhill first rather than face the weather on the mountains , sensible choice it will have been horrible up there!

Two batteries?

 

[EddiePJ]

One battery and eco mode. First gear was used quite frequently though. Bloody stupid of me really though, as I was carrying the spare battery! I got almost halfway through the ride, and decided to see if I actually could make the ride on one battery.
Bright blue skies today, so off hiking again. The bike riding has had to come second place on this trip, and sadly I have managed to fit very little of it in. I'm hoping to sneak out this evening again though.

Today's little jaunt, 40 % battery remaining.

 

[Doomanic]

Wow, that's some ride!

My ride today was cut short by a rip in the tyre sidewall parallel with the bead.

I can't get out for a few days, but so wish I was somewhere as epic riding as that. Wow

Very lucky man Eddie.
Soundwave, me thinks those will be my next choice of tyres for the Canyon, thanks for the link.
Gotta be careful with my riding this week achilles heel is has a bulge, more than likely tendinitis, hope it doesn't rupture that would be far too much time off the bike.

Gorgeous part of the world Eddie. The only view that has ever caused me to really have a jaw drop moment as you come out of the station at Kleine Scheidegg, the North Face of the Eiger and all of those glaciers it's just awesome.

Look after the leg Dom.

Today's jaunt, met up with a friend two thirds of the way round. He was on an unpowered bike but he's twenty years younger and twenty kilos lighter!

Sadly things are changing very rapidly there.

Taking the Siberhorn for example, 30 years ago this was an amazing snow and ice covered mountain, but over the years I have watched it become more and more exposed. Current estimates are that the snow and ice will be completely gone from it in about 20 years time.

see its not that bad

Mountain Of Hell is a better race, not that I am into either, but have several friends that make the annual trip to race in one or the other.

Nice pictures
Only problem is that I can’t put a picture of my bike perched in brechfa forest after doing the black run (raven)
As it’s not exactly picturesque especially compared to the above lol
