East Meck High cleans up McAlpine
Students from East Mecklenburg High School were out today cleaning up the trails and creeks of litter. I was happy to see teenagers volunteering to make my preferred Greenway a nicer place to frequent.
Felt good today, but I’m taking it easy until my leg muscles get used to the miles. I can feel a cramp coming on anytime I try to put the hammer down. The weather is great, many people out walking, running, riding and fishing.
MTB: distance 20.95 miles, average speed 12.6 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.
