Bicycle Diaries
30 years riding, 15 years writing
Putting on the weight
Gained back 3 pounds since the last ride.
More weight, more energy, made a world of difference today. I was able to ride farther and still feel good at the end of the ride, I had enough energy to have done more miles if I had wanted to.
America is obsessed about shedding pounds and here I am putting some more on. That’s the beauty of bicycle riding, you can eat all you want and still fit into those old pair of comfy jeans.
Rode for 21.85 miles, average speed was 12.7 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.
