Riding a 30 mile poker run tomorrow on my EXR

[tnichols]

I'm planning to ride a 30 mile poker run tomorrow on my EXR near Olympia Washington / Capitol Forest (Tacoma Trail Cruisers Smuggler Poker Run). I'm going to just keep it in map 1 and wish for the best Riding with a buddy and bringing a rope that I really hope we don't need!

Wish me luck!

Is it a non-competitive ride? You should be able to do 30 miles in Map 2, but yeah, I would be safe and start in Map 1 in case the ride gets difficult or you get lost in the woods, LOL.

Good luck to you!

Yeah, non-competitive, fun-run style ride. That's good to hear. So far, I'm loving this bike.

Ride went awesome! I had about 20% battery left after. My GPS said I was about 28.7 miles even though the event folks said it was 30+.

Nice, 1,321 calories!
I used to wear chest straps and stuff and my starts were crazy. Then I calmed down and now I ride without data most of the time.

Good job!
Thanks for sharing.

Awesome! What do you estimate your average speed might have been?

I try to record the mileage and hours most everytime I ride. Yesterday was 31 miles, 2.5 hrs, a quarter tank of electrons remaining. It is telling data. I have new underwear, er, firmware, so I am hot to see what is different.

Yeah, I have new underwear too.

Oh yeah, I am coming to understand that the charge remaining is a calculated value based on use, not actual charge remaining... we just need to weigh the batterypack, E=MC squared and all.

Almost. Yes and no!
If you keep the key on, the bike will estimate based on usage. If you cycle the key, the bike will estimate based on the voltage.
See below:

The display shows "more" charge when the key is cycled because of the logic of how the charge is estimated. Basically by cycling the key, the bike is losing the history of the ride and cannot estimate your range based on your recent riding.

Damn there I was thinking of skipping that’s 2nd dozen donuts for breakfast increased my range!

Tracker says my avg speed was 9.5 mph.
