Bicycle Diaries
30 years riding, 15 years writing
Midday heat
Waited for the Tour’s stage to end before heading out.
By the time I hit the edge of the forest, it was 86 degrees Fahrenheit and no breeze to speak of. It felt good riding back to back days, had a longer distance and a faster time to show for it. I’ll go for a brisk walk tomorrow and hopefully be back on the bike on Tuesday.
MTB: distance 13.55 miles, average speed 13.8 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.
