Bicycle Diaries
30 years riding, 15 years writing
Back to normal temps
Mid August and we’re back to normal temperatures.
Gone are the days of 95+, temps are now in the normal 85+ range. Mornings are pleasant as is the late afternoon, so you can sit outside and enjoy the birds chirping.
Felt good today, my legs are responding when I decide to pick up the pace. I’m not trying to break speed records, but I like to keep a steady rhythm when pedaling.
With the future looking like bikes will play an important role in transportation, I just want to be able to hop on and go fetch groceries without having a stroke.
MTB: distance 19.17 miles, average speed 13.2 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.
