Mowing the trails
The McAlpine is getting a cut.
The city was out in full force today mowing the overgrown brush and trimming the dead trees. I spend a lot of time on my lawn, yet the wild growth along the side of the trails looks better than some parts of my yard. Go figure, maybe I should just let things go wild then bring in a tractor once a year.
MTB: distance 13.60 miles, average speed 13.5 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.
