I forgot to mention that I did a 0 to 50 km/h acceleration test last night. Time: 11 secs.
Not bad, I would say, for a 100 lb bike and a 250 lb rider.

From the May 16 post:
I'm going to put the bike in the shop tomorrow. I'm going to have them remove the derailleur and I will go with the smallest sprocket. The end result will be a 48 x 13 gear set. This will allow me to pedal along with mild effort at 35 km/h.
Bike is back from the shop. Kept the derailleur because the chain ended up banging against the frame and retaining the derailleur gave me more chain clearance.
Everything went well with my pedaling contributing about 50 watts of power. Over the 1.5 hours of pedaling that amounts to about 75 Wh. In time I hope be able to contribute more - maybe 100 watts of power. If that actually pans out it would extend my usable range by about 20%.

My Place
Cool again tonight especially down by the river.
I bought a pair of windproof pants made of the same material as my reflective jacket (commonly used by construction workers) and the lessened windchill on my legs is certainly a benefit. My legs are not chilled to the bone like they normally are and I sleep much better.

Only 4 weeks until the end of May. The trip through Manning Park is on my mind. The forecast for the end of the month is: night time temps around 3 C. Too cold to ride!! I need the night time temp to be at least 10 C. Perhaps the middle of June.
