Bicycle Diaries
30 years riding, 15 years writing
Cool mornings, hot afternoons
We’re in for a week of Summer weather, time for cool morning rides.
Stayed on the main trail from Monroe Rd. to Sardis Rd., just back and forth on the 1.5 mile stretch of dirt. My average speed is climbing, two factors come to mind, my legs are getting stronger and the trails are getting smoother.
More and more people are using the trails, I guess we’re tired of waiting for the construction to finish, we’ll train around the bulldozers.
distance 14.05 miles, average speed 12.5 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.
