Pic of the Day

Brrrr! Being a naive kid from Southern California I've wondered how well ebikes perform in cold weather. I see lots of pics of ebikes in sub-freezing conditions, even in Scandanavian winter! Do you guys experience any power loss due to reduced battery performance at these lower temps?

We had a dusting of snow last night, so headed to Tentsmuir, a forest on the beach for some slop free swoopy singletrack, I managed a total elevation gain of 91 metres??
Yes the battery range suffers in the cold temps, but also the conditions mean you are expending more power ploughing through the mud and snow, so you definitely see quite a range drop off in the worst conditions.

No actual power loss, ie the bike pulls as strongly as ever, but the range from a full charge appears to be a little lower, but it's hard to be objective about that, as there are so many other variables.
What the THOK!?!

Some new trails - just waiting for the trees to grow.

Guessing about 60 to 80 kms of trail at Cougar Park now. Will be more logging that will ruin some of the existing trails, but for many years we will have some primo trails that certainly will challenge Rotorua for primacy.

Sketchy conditions today and I got caught out a couple of miles from home? Black Ice 1 Me 0.
Bikes OK though ?. Purchased some overshoes as I couldn't feel my toes after being out the other day. They worked a treat (pain in the arse to put on though)

Yes C2C route. The track is the main line that goes through Newcastle etc. Went past Tanfield last week just in time to see them bringing the steam engine to the station.
I have a very similar pic in my album from a few years back ..good to see that the Santa Express was still running for the kids ..
Would have taken more pics today but couldn’t feel my fingers!
How very dare you ! ?

Last picture is my favorite. 2 minutes before this she said it was the best day ever and could ride another 2-3 hours. Then she fell on flat ground and gave me the middle finger. Day ended right then and there. ?

The sudden change in temperature from frozen mud photos to arid hot desert made my computer monitor fog up!

Never buy fingerless gloves... they don’t provide full protection.
