Bicycle Diaries
30 years riding, 15 years writing
Muscle memory
Today, my muscles started getting some of their memory back. They knew how to keep a constant pace for a few miles, without giving out on me. Another week and I should be close to the shape I was before the Winter break.
All I can ask for when I go for a ride, is an hour of steady pedaling. I’m not breaking any speed records, just eyeing the average speed on my computer and making sure I stay above 12 for a good workout.
MTB: distance 15.41 miles, average speed 12.0 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.
