Snakes & Turtles
On the trail today, all I saw were turtles and snakes crossing my path. There was this huge snapping turtle on the trail behind the lake, mosquitoes flying all over it’s head, no wonder it’s walk seemed dizzying. The snakes are cool, as long as you cross behind them, not in front of them.
MTB: distance 15.00 miles, average speed 13.3 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.
