Bicycle Diaries
30 years riding, 15 years writing
Up the miles
Another couple of pounds and I’ll be able to fit into my old jeans. So far this week, I’ve lost 5 pounds and as I sit here writing this, I’m still sweating from today’s ride.
Today I decided to up the miles, went out early so I could stretch the water bottles by riding in cooler weather. A lot of people out there today, spring has a way of signaling to the body that it’s time to shed the winter pounds.
MTB: distance 20.64 miles, average speed 13.0 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.
