Bicycle Diaries
30 years riding, 15 years writing
Cloudy weather lately
No sun to speak of as of late, just gloomy weather.
Headed out this morning, cause if I waited for sunny weather, I’d not get a ride in this week. Half way through the ride, it started to drizzle, thankfully it didn’t develop into a major thunderstorm.
With rain pelting me, and the ground getting moist, the bike started to amass quite a bit of dirt and mud. Before I go out next time, I’ll need to wash the bike down, or else I’m riding a heavier bike around.
My legs are feeling fine, it’s my hands that are getting numb from an hour and a half of steady riding. I’m going to go visit the local bike shop and buy me a pair of gloves with some padding, that should alleviate the situation.
MTB: distance 19.09 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.
