30 years riding, 15 years writing
Le Alpe de Boyce
Right above the McAlpine, sits James Boyce Park.
Finishing up today’s ride, I decided to ride up to Boyce, and I mean up. It’s a pretty steep grade, it does work the quads and if you keep a steady pace, it burns your lungs also. The reward is going down, so I headed out towards Sardis Road and slalomed downhill to the trail entrance to head back home.
MTB: distance 15.17 miles, average speed 12.8 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.
