Big Chainring
Give me more speed Scotty!
In the last week, I’ve been shifting into the big chainring more often. My legs can now push a large ring while keeping the same pedal cadence that I’m accustomed to.
Today, I had a tailwind which took me the 2 1/2 miles from Sardis to Independence doing 20+ mph. I’m almost ready to take out the road bike on a club ride, can’t wait to fly down hilly roads.
MTB: distance 14.31 miles, average speed 14.2 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.
