Track Meet
The McAlpine was packed with runners today.
When I came upon the lake I was met with hundreds of high school runners attending a track meet.
It was an afternoon of ringing the bike bell and balancing on the bike so I didn’t have to clip out of my new pedals.
After a couple of laps I decided it was not worth continuing, I’ll ride again when there’s less of a traffic jam on the trails.
Rode for 12.81 miles, average speed was 12.1 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.
