Bicycle Diaries
30 years riding, 15 years writing
Feels like 105
Oh summer, how I waited for you after a long winter. Oh winter, how I wish you arrive sooner than later cause summer is kicking our asses.
Thought twice about going riding today, but if I’m going to ride at all this summer, I have to ride no matter what the temperatures are. There wasn’t too many people out there this morning, I guess everybody is heeding the warnings and staying inside.
Felt really good on the ride, if it wasn’t for the fact that I ran out of water, I would of ridden a little longer. My back and butt had been hurting me the last couple of days and I attribute it to the fact that my saddle had gone done a few centimeters and I hadn’t noticed.
MTB: distance 18.91 miles, average speed 13.5 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.
