Today's ride was made during the day. What a difference! My eyes were not the least bit tired and my sense of balance was perfect. (It should come as no surprise that the eyes are essential to balance and when your eyes are very tired you get a bit wobbly)

You will note a big saving in energy by my slowing down. Three months ago (on May 13) I used 25.9 Wh/km @ an average speed of 38.4 km/h. Slowing down to 31.5 I used 17.9 Wh/km which is 8 Wh/km less. That's a 30% saving!

As a side note, I rode 1,025 km since May 13. Not bad considering the bike had three weeks of downtime.
