Bridge to the Lake
Today, I was able to ride over to the lake.
Where there once was a concrete span, there is now a one piece steel bridge crossing the McAlpine creek. Now I can ride out to the lake and follow the cross country 5k trails.
There appears to be quite a lot of work left to do, hope it’s completed by August.
Feeling better, back on the bike for only a week and I’m ready to start putting in longer rides. Goes to show you that any exercise, even if it’s yard work, can help your body get conditioned.
distance 13.66 miles, average speed 11.3 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.
