Super :jelly:
This is 1/3 of the trails that are rideable from my house. The Wiss is a little further (10 ish miles) but amazing riding. That's more of an all day out type thing, more ideal to drive there but I do ride to it often. Usually on the cross bike.

Holy hell. That's awesome!

I only live around pavement. :|

I am lucky to have the US National WHitewater Center 15 minutesw from my office, there's at least 40 miles of trails there. I normally throw my bike on the back of the :poorvette: and ride there at least once a week before work.

Wow.

Over the holiday weekend I loaded up the ZR2 with the dog, wife, a bunch of stuff and some guns and ammo and did over 600 miles round trip to the Central coast.

Computer said I got 19.2 mpg, my manual calculation said 18.85 mpg.

I was pretty surprised.

:nice: highway cruising I’m usually up in the low 18s. Not sure what happened with that 12mpg tank. Lifetime average for me so far is mid 16s.

Interesting. It did well. Throw some AT tires on it and it would do just fine for what 98% of people would be willing to drive.

My sedan has a better AWD system though.

That is :mindblown: I've never seen anything close to that in mine when doing speed limit speeds.

This was at 75-80 on the freeway most of the way, except when waze alerted me to :cop: and generally around King City.

I did cheat a little and raised my tire pressure for the trip, but only because they had been under inflated and I noticed a bit of cupping on the outside edges the day before when I rotated the tires.

There is likely a turd version coming. Should have some okay tires on it.

Only CVT I’ve hated was the Nissan one. The others are fine. Lisa’s car has a CVT and it’s so nice how smooth it accelerates.

The only CVT experience I have was with a 2012 Nissan Versa. Although that whole car was a mistake, much like my birth.

Nissan, say no more. Versa... ooof... I didn't think it could get worse, then you pulled out the worst Nissan.

I am truly sorry.
