Bicycle Diaries
30 years riding, 15 years writing
Sunny and cool Saturday
The rains on Friday brought in a cool front, in the low 60’s for most of today’s ride, very enjoyable.
Couldn’t quite get up to speed today, I don’t know if it was the day off, the cooler weather, or my body just wanted to take it easy. My left thigh actually took like 10 miles to feel ride ready, it was like my mind showed up but the body stayed at home on the couch watching the Masters.
What I did do is put in some decent mileage, the weather called for it. By the 2 hour mark, the body was crying out to the brain, take us home, the mind obliged.
MTB: distance 33.54 miles, average speed 13.0 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.
