Bicycle Diaries
30 years riding, 15 years writing
Trekking through the woods
Taking long walks through the Greenway.
Gave the Trek a rest and I’ve been trekking through the McAlpine. Venturing into areas that I couldn’t have reached with the bike, it’s really fun and educational at the same time.
Santa brought me a Nikon D40 for Christmas and it’s been my companion on the trails ever since. Researching monopods for the camera, I’ve settled on a Leki Sierra AS, it’s a walking stick with a camera mount.
The weather has been crazy lately, we don’t know if it’s Fall, Winter or Spring. We’ve also had a lot of rain, which makes the trails rather muddy for riding.
This break from the bike has been welcome on the one hand and almost necessary on the other, since you can’t get into a training rhythm if the weather doesn’t want to cooperate.
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.
