Mt Taylor morning ride



With the battery fully charged and an hour to spare, I ducked out this morning to see how the Fighter would handle a local climb up Mt Taylor. This ride has a range of tight short climbs that I knew would test the gearing/output balance quite nicely.

The ride up was fantastic, cruising up quietly next to kangaroos without scaring them off, just watching their curious joeys as I glide past. The ride along the cyclepaths in the crisp ACT morning air was just great. There were plenty of walkers about, so trail etiquette and some consideration was needed to curb the temptation of launching off the water bars. Will save that for some more serious off-road testing on some local tracks that I hear calling me.
