Is dirt nutritious?
The loose dirt on the main trail from Sardis to Monroe gets into everything. My water bottle gets completely covered with dirt, when I take a drink it’s a real muddy swig, minerals and vitamins au naturel.
My legs are feeling really good at this early stage, must be all the bags of mulch I’ve been lugging from Walmart to my house. Spent the last month getting the yard into Spring shape, the by-product is that I also got into shape.
distance 10.44 miles, average speed 11.7 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.
