I have no idea how you two handle all the trials and tribulations of early retirement. You stand as an example for all of us. Thank you. P.S. Barrel Cactus really smart when you land on them.
@@FisherMan-bh9dn Unfortunately we’re not retired 🫣 We work at the campgrounds. The one we are currently at is a lot of hard manual labor, which I am not used to.~Christine I was a service writer for Honda in Greer, South Carolina. Made a lot of good money, but worked a lot of hours and not a lot of time for travel. This is the only way we could figure out how to optimize travel, but still make money and not have to pay the outrageous fees of RV resorts. 😃
This is one of the ebikes on my short list. Do you feel like you have too much travel for that trail? Looks pretty tame for 170mm? My fear is getting too much or too little because I like to ride all different kinds of trails.
Our analog bikes are Cannondale scalpel SE which is 120 front 120 rear . Which would have worked well at this particular trail.. however, like you we enjoy riding black diamonds as well. The Orbea definitely smoothed out the chunky spots on this trail. And made the ride super enjoyable, overkill maybe. But on the flipside it was super plush. Very happy with this bike, super fun to ride, handles well and has zero rattles. In my mind, it is the perfect do everything Bike.

Only by the abundant grace of God, is any of what we do is possible
Wow, those also look like some fun trails, especially on an E-Bike. Great riding!
@@RowansAdventures this particular trail system is worth going back too

Forgot to mention that it is set up 160 front 160 rear.
E MTB is a different Sport.
@@celticcoach4823 I absolutely loved being able to go as far as we did in such a short amount of time. 🤩
