Bicycle Diaries
30 years riding, 15 years writing
Above 12
Whenever I go out for a bike ride, I try to keep my average speed above 12 miles per hour. I’m not scorching the trails at this speed, but at least I’m getting a good cardiovascular workout.
The trails have dried up by now from this week’s rains, but the creeks are full of debris. The city seems to be attending to other greenways, cause I haven’t seen them around the McAlpine lately.
MTB: distance 11.94 miles, average speed 13.4 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.
