Meeting some other ebikers in Hope tomorrow for a planned 23 miles including climbing the Beast. I'm going to have to be very conservative and/or plan an escape route
So, I'm plotting to get a South Downs Way out of one battery....... lets find out how I get on in the next few weeks of preparation.
The plan is to get a sub 12 hour SDW done, once I've learnt to be efficient on the Scott Spark;Â the fun bit will be to turn round at Eastbourne and hoon it back to Winchester in under 7 hours. I will have to average 15mph for that leg and I think it will take 5 batteries to get it done.
It is a standard Spark but I will run it with no dropper post, my own bars, stem and saddle so the bike is set up correctly and some skinnier tyres (Racing Ralph's or Rocket Ron's depending on feel). I'll leave the tri-bars at home.
The lights are going to be USE e bike lights for the return leg and they just get their juice from the bike battery.
Should make for a few weeks of fun training and racing!
