To the Tierser Alpl Hut, EMTB

Away from the popular Sellaronda route this is a target destination for hikers and bikers alike, to quote: "The refuge Tierser Alpl is situated on the saddle of the same name, a place where all paths seem to cross. On the way from the Schlern to the Lang- and Plattkofel, from the Seiser Alm to the Rosengarten, you’ll always pass this spot where Max Aichner, a mountain guide from Tiers, realized his idea of building his own refuge 50 years ago."
This was incorporated into a loop ride from Ortisei, up to Selva and the Ciampinoi gondola then across country to just below Passo Duron. Then it's a relentless climb all the way up to the Tierser hut. The return was across the Alpe di Siusi via the Sanon hut to the steep minor road to Bula Pufels. Through the small collection of chalets and a church to the Geotrail which describes the local Geology. A fast road descent leads back to Ortisei.

Heya how do you get on with battery levels? Do you ever charge mid ride ? Cheers

[@juleskayak]

When I design a route I calculate so that I don't run out of battery. Was caught out on a previous ride when a couple of lifts weren't open. Always try to ensure a descent in the last part of a ride. So never count on charging mid ride. Always use the modes conservatively. Usually reckon on about 20-25 miles and 1200m ascent as a guideline but if there's lots of easy will get better than that.

@juleskayak Ah that great, thanks for the reply. I've had an ebike for a year now but mostly been on flat paths and trails. I am menat to get 60 miles range but found very quickly in the real world it's more like 45 :) Good idea about leaving a dcent on the return as you can then just cruise home using gravity.
