Bicycle Diaries
30 years riding, 15 years writing
I ate a bug
Though I took a banana with me, I didn’t eat it, instead I was nourished by the bug that flew into my mouth.
The McAlpine trails are looking great, new pavement where needed, nice level gravel and dirt everywhere else. It’s been 5 months since I last rode on the trails, and I felt it today.
Though I continued walking during the winter months, biking does get the aerobic side of things churning. My leg muscles were fine, it’s my lungs that need to be reawakened.
MTB: distance 8.37 miles, average speed 10.9 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.
