Do you manage to recharge the battery during food stops?
Sorry, Wow, didn't notice this before. Yes, I had about an hour for lunch and they very graciously let me plug in. An hour didn't top it up all the way, though. In future I'm going to swap to my spare while the other battery is charging, then I can see how far I can manage on my two batteries without having to recharge.
I hadn't realized before how cheap charging up is: a kWh here costs 0.174 € and my batteries are 252 & 222 Wh each, so charging for a long ride costs about 8 centimes.

Today, coffee toddle with El Prez, remarkable only for the disagreeable NE wind and the fact that the bolts holding my saddle to the seat-post came loose, so that the saddle suddenly pointed at the sky and slid back/downwards, with interesting anatomical consequences. Once El Prez had stopped laughing he obligingly held the bike upright while I fixed it. He paid for the coffee & cakes, too.
