Bicycle Diaries
30 years riding, 15 years writing
Got out before the rain
The local radar told me to get out early.
There was a huge copperhead on the main trail, a walker alerted us all to it’s slow crossing of the gravel. By now I’m accustomed to their presence, but when I began riding on the McAlpine, I would mistake them for a branch.
MTB: distance 14.62 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.
