Bicycle Diaries
30 years riding, 15 years writing
Caught the Flu
It started with Grandma and spread.
It wasn’t a long and nasty flu strain, a couple of days of feeling like shit and then you started to recover. Grandma caught it first and then it hit each one of us in turn, it was mostly an upper respiratory infection, no headaches or high fever.
We’re glad that’s it’s over with and we hope that our little episode has inoculated us against any further outbreaks. During the crisis I walked to stay in some shape but I felt weak on today’s ride.
Rode for 10.28 miles, average speed was 10.9 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.
