    Talk me into buying an Alta. Talk me out of buying an Alta.

    So, where is the question in this? Wife says do it, run, don't walk, before she changes her mind.

    25 hours of starvation ridge 2020

    Bikes and charging worked great. Course was about 15-16 miles per lap. The three of us all finished with about 1/2 the battery left and lap times were 40-60 min per lap so no problem charging on 240. I never really had a problem following the course, but there were times that I didn't know...

    Not really about the race, but my Alta went over 5000 total miles during the race. The only things I have done to the bike are tires, some suspension work, lube and a once a year oil change. What ICE bike could still be somewhat competitive, not saying that I am competitive, but the bike is...

    This is the first video I have seen from the course. Not an Alta, but it does show a lap of the course if anyone is interested. It was kind of nice watching the video. I was so busy just trying to survive the course, that I never got a chance to look around when I was riding :ricky:

    There are getting to be quite a few non Tesla DC fast charging sites available. Plugshare and ChargePoint are the two that I use to find sites when the supercharger network isn't available where I want to go. Both Shell and BP are starting to build a charge network and Electrify America is a...

    We decided to forgo the night laps. We rode until about 2200 PDT, but the dust was so bad that anytime someone passed the visibility was zero. Making matters worse the wind died down so the dust just hovered over the track and you were left with the bad visibility until it settled which could...

    Getting ready for the start. If you look close you can see the bike laying down and the riders gathering on the other side of the pond. About a 1/4 mile run and then race. :muutt:

    If I don't have to rough it, why? Right now I am staying at a little winery in Echo OR with about 1.5 hours to drive tomorrow. I prefer easy to hard and fun to sucks. 😁

    Forecast shows dry until Tuesday, so looks like no mud this year, but that could all change. You never know with the weather. :)

    I followed @privateer703 example. I bought my neoprene off of Amazon so not sure how it will hold up. I cleaned the frame with some rubbing alcohol and it seems to be sticking really well, but this weekend will be the test. I did find that scissors made a smoother cut than a razor blade, at...
