A dog walks into a creek
There was this fellow on the main trail between Sardis and Monroe roads that was walking his two large white Labrador looking dogs. Whenever I would approach them, bike bell ringing, he would send them off to run in the creek.
By the time I was riding my 3rd lap, the dogs’ undersides were covered in red mud from the creek bottom. Some chunks already drying on their hairy stomachs, bringing home the reason for Charlotte mudrooms.
Feeling great, putting in some hill work at the end of my rides. There are quite a lot of hills in my neighborhood, granny gears do come in handy.
distance 15.01 miles, average speed 12.6 mph.
Charlotte, NC
Spent 10 years in Charlotte, a block away from an entrance to the McAlpine Creek Greenway.
Switched to a mountain bike from the road bikes I was accustomed to riding for 15 years.
The time spent on these trails was most appreciated.
