cycling (e-bike) 1:14:25 18.11 mi (4:07 / mi) +616m 3:43 / mi
ahr:110 max:153 slept:6.5 weight:164.6lbs
This was quite a successful experiment! I borrowed my friend Mike's Giant e-bike, to test a couple of things: 1) would it make it more enjoyable to ride big hills (like the one up to my house) and 2) would it be easier on my tender R quadriceps, hip flexor, ITB complex. Yes and yes.
The bike has a motor in the crank with modes designated as Econ, Normal or Power (or you can turn it off). I rode most of the ride in Econ, which is a bit easier than riding my own bike. I rode most of the significant hills in Normal, which is quite a substantial boost, and then up home via 219 and the notorious Devil's Elbow. All that went pretty fast, Normal up the hills from PV to the base of the DE, and then Power on the DE. Power is a bit of a boost from Normal, but I think it would have been fine in Normal, too. A little quad stress, but way less than the last time I rode.
I think one of these is in my relatively near future.
Rode with Rhonda from PV, then solo from when we got back to the parking lot and she took the car home. Checking the GPS splits, seems like my fastest riding was on the uphills going back home, and I would have to say that Normal mode flattened those hills out pretty nicely.

What Rhonda calls the Ann loop, from the house. Included one stop to go look at the pond where our old friend Florence used to live. Florence has been dead about 20 years, but still seems familiar to us. Her house is quite old, sat empty for quite a while, and then a somewhat counter-cultural seeming couple moved in for several years, with a kid around Zack's age at the time, and then it was empty for a long time again. Now somebody is doing some substantial remodeling, perhaps inside, but mostly out. Knocked down some old outbuildings, removed a lot of trees and graded an area to the side, where one might expect a garage might sprout, although hard to say. Big excavator on site, bunch of silt fence. Substantial grading going on, and then a ways back, the old pond that Florence kept goldfish in all those years ago. Still a pretty nice little pond.

US Champs middle course, Brown Z. Another pretty good run, and fortunate enough to end up first on the course and first in M-70. Amazing. Very compact course, intricate area with lots of depressions. Only one significant mistake, when I misread the contours near 6 and nothing looked right to me. Bailed out to a pond and then tried again, but still didn't look right. But a little further and there it was, maybe lost 2:30 there. And maybe another 30 seconds drifting down the wrong spur on the way to 8, but otherwise excellent. Again I was the beneficiary of very difficult footing that slowed down the faster runners.
Late in the course I saw a large rabbit shaped hind end scooting under one of the many downed logs. I suppose a hare, but quite a meaty looking one, and quite furry.

Note
Rhonda and Leslie and I went to the little hot spring along the creek, 200 meters from the house. A little pool just off the side of the creek with a hot spring feeding it from the bank, and then draining into the creek on the down side. In the pool maybe 102 F, and then pleasant to wade a bit into the stream to cool off and do it over again.
