Oh, the heat returns
What’s up with Spring?
Really hot today, mid 80’s during the ride. I’m going to have to go out earlier in the day, I can’t take this heat just getting my body out of Winter.
Put a little bit of Vaseline on the new Performance shorts I bought yesterday, it was a more pleasant experience, less like sandpaper. I’m starting to get used the synthetic chamois, it does give a nice cushioned ride.
Need a rest day, I think I’ll take Friday off and give it my all during the weekend.
MTB: distance 17.38 miles, average speed 13.4 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.
