Bicycle Diaries
30 years riding, 15 years writing
Awesome ride!
Knew it from the first pedal strokes.
Today was one of those days that takes months to get to. Conditioning is a black art, after 17 years of bike riding for sport, I’ve yet to fully understand my body.
A few minutes into today’s ride, I knew my body could be pushed, so I mashed the pedals. If it wasn’t for having to slow down for small dogs with pedestrians, I would of broken over the 15 mph average speed mark.
MTB: distance 16.84 miles, average speed 14.8 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.
