Bicycle Diaries
30 years riding, 15 years writing
May is a washout
Spent the first part of May at the beach, came back all sunburned so I decided to stay indoors until my skin recovered. When I was ready to start riding again, the weather freaked out, tornadoes, heavy rains and 90+ degree weather dominated the second half of May.
On today’s ride, I saw many trees that came down because of the winds. The trails were clear of debris though, thanks to the parks and rec employees. Here’s to hoping that June has better weather, as in normal for this area.
MTB: distance 19.20 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.
