Comments: Too much eating translated to too much weight. The 243# was measured after this evening's spin. I need to redouble my efforts to lose some significant weight this year. The combined mileage goal for this year is 2024 miles.

Comments: This year, I resolve to cycle at least 2024 miles in 150 hours. That means averaging 168 miles per month (a challenge in winter months). I expect to make up for the lower winter cycling miles with more spring-summer-fall biking.

Comments:

I have noted previously that a fully charged battery voltage reads higher on the RCS than on the CCX (58.8 vs 57.6 volts)

On the final 4 miles of the ride, the CCX controller readout began to flash the voltage readout at 45.3 volts of energy left in the battery during the last 4 miles. Once home, I transferred the Battery pack to the RCS to read the battery voltage from that controller and noted a voltage difference of +1.2 volts. The two controllers vary in voltage read accuracy. I consider the RCS voltage indicator readout the most accurate calibration since it reads a fully charged battery at 58.8 volts while the CCX readout shows 57.6 volts.

Comments: As a comparison between the readout on the CCX and the RCS, I consider the RCS voltage indicator on the readout the more accurate calibration, since it reads a fully charged battery at 58.8 volts. The CCX readout shows 57.6 volts for the same fully charged battery.

Today's ride was cut short after the Battery ran out of juice at the halfway point. My goal has been to test the older juiced battery to determine how many miles to expect from fully charged (58.8v) to battery management cut-off (42v)

With today's ride, I learned it is about 60 miles.

Comments: The Gallup Road Bridge is still closed, but work is ongoing. Finally, I've taken the opportunity to do another outdoor ride for the month. March weather was as good as most of the Winter this season had been. The reason my outdoor mileage is way low is because of opportunities for working in the yard. Hell, I think I have more miles on my lawn tractor so far for March.
