Here's a photo from up the hill during the new ride. It's pretty nice this can be part of my regular commute to work:

Going over the hill really tuckers the bike out though. I had it go flat on me during a ride for the first time today, well within range for the battery normally. I'll need to watch the charge more of I go this way.
That is nice. I have a few nice views on my way to work but it is much harder to appreciate them when you are whizzing past in the car.
It's kind of the same on the bike. This is what I see before I drop down a road that gets me up to 40km/hr. You do feel more in touch with things though, easing down the dirt path seeing kangaroos and rabbits
