Haven't watched yet, but I wonder if it is edited to paralleled the experience of electric car ownership you hear people describe:

At the beginning, you are constantly worried about your batteries/where to charge/etc., but you quickly start to lose the "range anxiety". It is a legit new experience. Probably the opposite of how you would feel in a Long Way Down scenario where you are kind of conditioned to not be anxious about gasoline range but you are in a place where gas may actually be pretty hard to come by.

Not sure why they would make it feel rushed unless they just didn't have great content...when you're on a streaming service you aren't exactly worried about how many time slots you get, and with a show like this the filming/early production costs are about the same regardless of how many episodes you ultimately fill.

I have been following the Dakar for the first time (not sure why it wasn't on my radar before). It's pretty awesome and the race footage from helicopters and drones (I assume) is super entertaining.

Dakar is great.

New shoes! Mitas E-07+

EDIT: Not sure how to rotate the picture. That's annoying.

Sticks in the mud; sticks on the ceiling.

Snapped this picture of a couple of lonely ass bikes in my garage

Other than last week (rainy/cold*), I've been getting out a couple of times a week for rides. Just so you all know.

Spoiler: *

By cold I mean 50-60 degrees.

not me, and I don’t even have an excuse, it’s been 60s and 70s in Texas

We had some beautiful weather here over the last couple of weeks but today was the start of at least a week or so's worth of rain and colder temperatures. So for now I will probably not be riding. The last two weeks I think I rode to work three times each week.

I made it a New Years resolution to get out there more. When we lived in Philly, riding bikes was miserable, period, so only time I made it out was when we were back in TN. No excuses this year though. May even try a camping trip or two

I rode the bike home from Tahoe and was so cold I had to grab onto the exhaust pipes to keep my rabbit fur gloved hands from freezing. Getting heated grips ASAP.

Holy ****, yeah, that must have been slightly unpleasant! Have never had heated grips, mainly because we usually have at least a weekend each winter month where weather is pleasant enough to ride without, but then again, you do seem to do more long rides than we do, so I can see how that might be a good idea!
