Bicycle Diaries
30 years riding, 15 years writing
Sweat
Primarily a means of thermoregulation.
On this morning’s ride, the dirt was being washed off the bike by the sweat dripping off my body.
Though it’s been very hot lately, it was the first time I felt humidity in the air. There was also no wind to speak of, nothing to cool off the trails, extreme heat even in the shade of the trees.
MTB: distance 20.21 miles, average speed 13.2 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.
