30 years riding, 15 years writing
Muddy trail today
We had some rain yesterday, good for riding, less dirt is kicked up, bad for riding, muddy puddles are everywhere.
This afternoon I came across 3 mountain bikers, 2 joggers and multiple walkers, the Greenway is starting to get more usage. I tried to draft one of the bikers, I quickly realized my body is not yet ready to hammer.
Picked up a pair of Louis Garneau full finger gloves at Performance Bike for $20 in the clearance bin. I’ll make sure I don’t use them for yard work this time.
distance 10.04 miles, average speed 12.3 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.
