30 years riding, 15 years writing
More gravel and dirt
The loop that goes out from the lake towards Independence Blvd. has had a new layer of gravel and dirt laid on it. Made for real slow going on my first lap, so I adjusted the path for the remainder of the ride.
Surprisingly, the No Bikes sign was taken down from the trail that runs behind the lake along the soccer fields. Never quite understood why we couldn’t bike there, the only time when it’s dangerous for pedestrians is on Sunday when the soccer fields are running games.
Congrats to Astana on the team time trial win.
MTB: distance 17.60 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.
