Bicycle Diaries
30 years riding, 15 years writing
Back to the beach
In May, we had such a good time at the beach, that we decided to head back to it in June. I think that takes care of our desire to walk barefoot in the sand for this year.
So July is open to just riding, especially that the Tour de France starts tomorrow, which always has given me impetus to saddle up.
Today’s ride was a get the legs going again day, so it was shorter than normal. Animals spotted today were a young deer on the main trail and a rather large turtle trying to get to one of the streams.
MTB: distance 13.68 miles, average speed 13.5 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.
