Bicycle Diaries
30 years riding, 15 years writing
Gusty and Dusty
The gusts of wind made for a hard ride.
The wind was blowing in all directions, I almost got knocked down a few times. You can imagine the amount of dust and crap flying in the air, all getting into my nose and eyes.
We had some heavy rain last night, so again we await the trails to get dried up. There are puddles of mud everywhere, sometimes I slow, sometimes I don’t really care.
Got some sunscreen at CVS today, SPF 70.
MTB: distance 21.63 miles, average speed 13.6 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.
