Bicycle Diaries
30 years riding, 15 years writing
Legs felt tight
Couldn’t get up any speed to speak of, so I went exploring.
Shot off into the neighborhoods and discovered new areas. It was hilly, but it was good exercise, especially for getting my legs back in shape. Thankfully my mountain bike has 24 speeds and it’s easy to shift, because if you’re not in the right gear, you suffer, big time.
MTB: distance 16.09 miles, average speed 12.7 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.
