Bicycle Diaries
30 years riding, 15 years writing
Hill work
Started off with some hill work around the neighborhood, wanted to see how fast I could go downhill with the new tires. Clocked over 30 mph before I had to slow for speed bumps, didn’t want to go flying on wet pavement.
After a few miles of hills, headed into the McAlpine and chased some riders around. There are riders everyday but seldom do I get the chance to draft anybody, even though getting dirt in your face isn’t much fun.
MTB: distance 18.09 miles, average speed 12.9 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.
