Bicycle Diaries
30 years riding, 15 years writing
Going farther
With cooler weather comes longer rides.
It was outright scorching last week, but it’s going back to normal spring weather this week. Mid 70’s is better to ride in than high 80’s, at least that’s what my body says.
Now it’s about getting the body used to pedaling for more than an hour, cramping up is not fun, it actually hurts.
MTB: distance 16.95 miles, average speed 13.3 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.
