Bicycle Diaries
30 years riding, 15 years writing
Rest and Relaxation
Needed some time off the bike, time off to recover and to prevent burn out.
When I began cycling many years ago, I would ride almost everyday, I figured that was how you got better. I soon realized that the day after I couldn’t ride for some reason, I felt stronger, rode better and enjoyed it more. So I began to include rest days and periods off the bike, but I continued to stay active, like go for walks or work on the yard.
MTB: distance 17.23 miles, average speed 14.4 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.
