Bicycle Diaries
30 years riding, 15 years writing
Westerly Winds
Wind at my back going out, aargh back in.
The winds were gusting up to 20 miles per hour from the west today. It wasn’t a great afternoon to go for a ride, but hey it was sunny and warm at least.
Legs felt good, lungs were fine, it was my butt that was hurting in the last 5 miles. Had to get out of the saddle a number of times to give my rear a break, it will take a few weeks to get back to saddle shape.
MTB: distance 14.89 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.
