Bicycle Diaries
30 years riding, 15 years writing
The trails are a mess
We take for granted the great job the city does in keeping our greenways in shape.
While doing my customary laps around the McAlpine and not being able to keep any decent speed to speak of, all I could think of was that I couldn’t wait for the city workers to get out here and level out the trails.
MTB: distance 15.8 miles, average speed 11.8 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.
