30 years riding, 15 years writing
Cramping up
My foot was cramping up on today’s ride.
By the end of the second lap, I could hardly pedal. I wanted to do a third lap but it was not to be, I had to ride back in and get off the bike. Even after I dismounted, it took me about 10 minutes to get my foot back to normal. Took a really warm shower and I’m feeling ok now, time to watch some football.
MTB: distance 14.90 miles, average speed 14.1 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.
