Bicycle Diaries
30 years riding, 15 years writing
Steamy ride
Last night, a storm blew through Charlotte.
I had to wait till the afternoon for the ground to dry up before I headed out, even so, it was slow going with a very soggy trail. Aside from the mud, the woods were steamy from the small heat wave that hit us on Monday and continued till today. Since the trails were slow, I decided to put more miles in and shed some pounds.
MTB: distance 19.32 miles, average speed 13.1 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.
