Tailwind to the McAlpine Lake
Awesome day, temps in the high 60’s, sunny with a nice tailwind out towards the McAlpine Lake.
The wind did me a huge favor, it helped me get my legs to spinning nicely early on in the ride. I felt really good today, and I could of ridden a longer distance, but I wanted to catch the start of the Masters.
The Soccer fields were packed, cheering friends and family filled the sidelines. The trails had lots of bike riders, walkers, runners and one Chihuahua in a stroller.
MTB: distance 22.03 miles, average speed 14.0 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.
