Warm and sunny day means bike wash day!

This morning I got to do the local bike shop group ride on a borrowed bike. A #Pinarello sales rep was on site and people could borrow bikes for the ride. I mixed up the product line names in my head, and I ended up on a Dogma X. A $15k bike. 🤣

I’m used to an aluminum entry level road bike ($2k in 2021), so a fancy carbon bike with DuraAce everything was a pleasure to ride.

I like staying married, so I’m definitely *not* buying one. #cycling

Needed to make a quick charging stop in Eastham because I forgot to charge to 100% before leaving for Provincetown, and the extra drag from the bike rack made the efficiency worse. Obviously the bike design is not optimized for the aerodynamic when it's sideways 😜

I could charge near Ptown long enough so I can make it home, but 1) Ptown's DC charger is a Tesla supercharger, as much as I don't want give money to Musk, it is also not 800V output, meaning the Taycan only takes around 140-150kw, which is not so much different from the 120kw I can get from this ChargePoint. 2) as I don't drive much, I need to take advantage of the Electrify America free charging when I have the opportunity.

So a quick 9 mins charge from 11% to 22% and we got on the way to the Electrify America in Hyannis. Arrived with 13% SoC and got the free juice to 85%.
