Bicycle Diaries
30 years riding, 15 years writing
Plenty of water
When my water runs out, that’s the end of my ride.
On today’s ride, the cooler temperatures allowed me to ride longer because my two large water bottles lasted. Lately it’s been rather hot, which causes my body to sweat, forcing me to drink more water.
Plenty of folks on the trails today, more bike riders than usual taking advantage of the cool front hitting Charlotte this weekend. We best enjoy it because there’s another freaking heat wave heading our way next week.
MTB: distance 24.55 miles, average speed 13.5 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.
