Old Trek riding shorts
Dug deep into the riding gear drawer and pulled out an old pair of Trek riding shorts. I hadn’t worn them in years, but riding more frequently these days does make one run out of gear quickly.
The old shorts still have the saddle intact, they are just a little thin in the rear end department. There’s not too many people drafting me these days, so it’s not a big deal if my butt is visible through the lycra.
Nice weather this morning, a lot of people on the trails, a few dogs off their leashes but they behaved on approach.
MTB: distance 19.15 miles, average speed 12.9 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.
