I wanted to get some pictures of new scenery so decided to throne for the local hills on my e-bike. The fastest way to get up in the hills from where I live is Llagas Road which winds up fairly steeply. I unfurled on to Oak Glen Ave and moreover investigated some side roads off both Llagas and Oak Glen that I had not been on in a long time. This ended up stuff an enjoyable ride of just under 90 minutes.

I was moreover pleased I was worldly-wise to stand up to pedal for longer periods. This had been a favorite worriedness of mine on upright bikes, but there is still some residual soreness from the injury I sustained several months when in my SI joint. I’ve been mostly riding seated with short standing stints interspersed for breaks from the saddle. But yesterday I was worldly-wise to stand for several minutes at a time with no discomfort. I will work on improving this gradually with time.
