So this last couple month I have not been doing a lot exercise wise I have only done 2 rides this month on the ebike and the only other exercise I have done is a few rides on the old ebike into the office and back and of course all the DIY I have been doing. My garage conversion bedroom is getting close to being finished! I need the electrics done and also the window sill and skirting boards done and then its just blinds and curtains and I can start moving in 🙂 Once I move I will start using the ebike a lot more to ride into the office most days so I should start the year exercising more at least 🙂 
As you can see from the summary to the left, most of my rides have been from my parents to my flat or from my flat to my parents so they have been between 22-25 miles depending on which way I went and were all between 1 hour 30 minutes and 1 hour 45 minutes so a good duration of ride.
I am really loving the new ebike the only slightly annoying things are the topping out at 15.5 mph instead of a sensible 20 mph but that it the governments fault for setting stupid speed limits, The bike also really big and pretty heavy so maneuvering it about it a nightmare as is pushing it up hills and steps which I found out on my last ride! The other issue is that I am too short for a full 29″ bike off road so when I want to start taking it to the bike parks I will need to convert it to a mullet setup!
When I change it to a mullet setup I will also swap the tyres and convert it to tubeless as I have had a puncture 10 miles into a ride in the woods and it was not fun pushing it to meet my day along a really busy road 🙁
Other than that the bike is amazing!
On my last ride into Bath at 5 am I found out that my front light is really bad which almost caused me to hit piles of mud in the road and almost slide out and go over the bars 🙁
To combat this I have purchased a new light which is supposed to be the best budget mtb light for off road use! A Blackburn Countdown 1600 Light from Amazon. It was on sale at £110 compared to £150 everywhere else so I figured that I would get one and try it as I don’t have the money to get a ebike specific light at the moment!
The new light should arrive on Saturday so I will charge it fully and then go for a bike ride with the dog early Sunday in the dark on the Woods loop to see how the light holds up ready to use it on Monday morning to commute to the office for work.
At the weekend I also want to test out my go pro as well as I haven’t had a chance to use it yet and I want to start.
I will maybe ride into the office for the rest of this month and then I am holiday in between Xmas and New Year and the first week of the new year too so I want to get as much e biking in as possible in the local area around my Parents house when I am not in Bath Dismantling my flat, washing it down and re-paining everything to get it on the market to sell!
I am going to move to my Parents this weekend so while I am holiday I will use the ebike to get used to riding into Bath and back at least every other day to get ready to come to work when I start back on the 12th Jan.
I have decided that I will leave as much of my stuff at the flat as I can to dress the flat a bit when it is up for sale so I have taken my Son’s single mattress and his beading and duvet to my parents and bought a cheap Amazon Basics bed frame and the same mattress topper that I have on my bed to use in my new bedroom for now and then when the flat is sold I will bring my bed etc over and get rid of the cheap frame.
I am going to take the mattress and bedding over tomorrow afternoon and over the weekend I will get the skirting boards on the wall and then set up the bed and start sleeping in there 🙂 Next week I will get my Standing Desk, Chair and monitors over to my parents as well as most of my bikes too!
