Bicycle Diaries
30 years riding, 15 years writing
Linus in Yellow
A geek’s namesake brings me out of an 8 month hiatus.
T-Mobile team rider Linus Gerdemann of Germany cycles to win the seventh stage of the 94th Tour de France cycling race between Bourg-en-Bresse and Le Grand-Bornand.
Shortly after Linus crossed the finish line, I was putting on my riding shorts, pumping air in my tires and heading for the McAlpine. Whoa, do my legs need to spin.
Rode for 12.41 miles, average speed was 11.0 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.
