Bicycle Diaries
30 years riding, 15 years writing
Windy today
Had a tail wind heading out towards the lake, which made it easy to keep the speed close to 20 mph for the 2 miles the main trail lasts for. It was the way back that was brutal, head down, aero position and sucking wind.
After the first 12 miles, I rode up to Boyce Park to refill my water bottles and snack on a banana. I wasn’t intending on doing a long ride, but I felt good and the temperature was agreeable, even though the wind was kicking my butt.
MTB: distance 25.54 miles, average speed 12.8 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.
