Bicycle Diaries
30 years riding, 15 years writing
Cross Country
My bicycle bell was working overtime.
The High School Cross Country teams were out in full force today. Every trail I went down, there they were, shoulder to shoulder, running in unison.
It brought back memories from my High School years, I ran cross country in the fall and did track meets in the spring. I became rather good at long distance events, it had it’s benefits, I could outrun the school bullies.
Rode for 18.42 miles, average speed was 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.
