I don’t think I’ve been this excited about getting out and exploring in years.
Yesterday was spent charging the thing, fitting the lights and reading the three-inch-thick instruction manual.
By 4:30 this morning I couldn’t wait any longer, so I headed off to see how long it would take to get to CrossFit OL1.
I was expecting 30–40 minutes.
18 minutes later I was there… and that was with me nursing it down the hill like it was made of glass!
The gym wasn’t even open yet.
So I turned around, rode back home for a brew, then headed back for the 6:45 class.
By the end of the day I’d clocked up 40km, including towing our 7-year-old around Saddleworth for 8km on the Shotgun Tow Rope.
What excites me most isn’t the bike itself — it’s where it’ll take me. Less time in the car, more time outdoors, more freedom, and plenty of new cinematic adventures.
Let’s be honest, nobody gets excited when BoxMate says “Run”. My knees are certainly thanking me for the 105Nm of torque right now. 😄
