Oh, the heat
My body is not used to the high temps anymore.
From now on, until fall comes around, I’m going to have to ride early to avoid the summer heat. I went out a bit late today and I was suffering. It’s fine on the inner trails where the trees shade you from the sun, but on the main trail, you can see the heat rising up from the gravel.
MTB: distance 13.57 miles, average speed 13.9 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.
