Cheers, bro, all on road

Well done, that was a fantastic ride. Hope your arse has recovered, I just about made it on my 4 hour trip. Going to try to get a decent pair of bib shorts before the day.

Nice ride, l love Anglesey the roads are great. Not flat though. You did well to make it on one battery charge.

Got all the way to Bangor mate an still had 50% left. What I've found though is it doesn't really matter what mode you're in once you get the 15mph, if you're spending a lot of time over 15mph the mode you have just provides the relevant boost getting you there. Eco just does that without killing your battery, the other modes take quite a bit off

Well, if you are managing to keep an ebike above the 15mph maximum assist speed for long periods of time then that's even more impressive

59 miles on 2 bars mate. With 3 bars left you're looking at possibly 150 miles if you can keep it above the limiter for long enough. You'd have to be mega fit to do that though. Do you go on holiday to Anglesey?

Giant Stance 2021. It's a challenge to see if it can make it, I'll let you know ?

I did 68 km yesterday on my 2020 Stance mainly in Eco except towards the end when I want to Eco+. Half paved, half gravel. Used 40% of the 400W battery.

 

[BigJim]

I'm going to do my first 100km tomorrow. Not quite in your league but I'm old and knackered ?

You're in Anglesey as well Jim?

That's a nice route, through the Dingle and past Lyn Cefni. Looks like a nice scenic one

Makes a huge difference in eco doesn't it

Yes mate, just outside Menai
Favourite ride is down to Llandona beach but i also like heading into the A5 pass on the slate tracks.

On proper mountain bike trails in the "Normal" mode I can do about 40 km on a charge. So yes, big difference. After 2-3h my butt is done anyway so anything more than 30-70 km depending on surface is redundant.

Nice mate don't think I've been there. There's no better place to ride is there down here, as a daily thing it's beautiful.

That's for sure. We are very lucky.

I might be moving back to Manchester next week. Been here 10 years but I'm always going to back here when I need peace and nature. What bike have you got? I might see you around

Cube Reaction Hybrid Pro 500 (2018)

Had it since new.

Love it.

Will be the biggest ride I've ever done but looking forward to the challenge.
