Overflowing creeks
The McAlpine creeks were overflowing and I couldn’t find a way to cross over to the main trail.
I wanted to make my way to the lake, to see what level it was at, but after riding in a foot of water for a few miles, I had to give it up. I escaped up through Boyce Park and made my way back home on the neighborhood streets.
MTB: distance 6.01 miles, average speed 9.0 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.
