White Water Center Trails

Rode the White Water Center Trails again yesterday. Great Trails. Got in about ten miles before I tanked. I was a little tired so I just took it easy. Still had a blast. It was pretty hot and humid but a lot of people showed up even on Mothers day. I really like this place, very cool spot to hang out and be with a hip crowd.

US National White Water Center, Charlotte N.C.

Wow, great day for riding a bike. Got up and rode for 17 miles on the road then later I went to the US White Water Center to ride the trails there. The trails are great single track riding. I helped build some of these trails way back in the 90's with Jack Crouch and the Tarheel Trailblazers. I hardly recognized any of the trails just a few spots I could remember. Overall I would say that the Center has done a great job on the trails and the Center is fantastic. I think I want to go back and try the white water rafting or maybe take the kayaks and try the lake. Going to plan a trip there in the near future.

Whew... what a month!

Well April is over tomorrow and it has been some month. At the end of March I was barely riding ten miles a day. Now at the end of the month I am up to 15 to 17 miles per day. I am back enjoying the ride too. No more sore butt, or tired legs. I feel fresh as the day before, everyday now. This is the best shape that I have been in for years. Like say around 12 or 13 years ago when I rode all the time. I am losing weight too, 17 lbs and counting. I hope to end up losing around 30 lbs before the end of Summer. I would like to see my weight back at 160 or so. Well At 187 I am on my way. I have not really changed my diet any. I just am trying to cut back on the amount that I eat. Man that is so hard around here , my wife is the worlds best cook. It is hard to turn down seconds. Also I have cut back on between meal snacks too. Our trip to Colorado is shaping up. Got my airline approved case for my bike, and I feel like I am fit enough to ride just about anywhere, even them big old Rocky Mountains. I can't wait to get back out there and see my Sister and her kids again and this time ride those Mountains.

For the trip

For my trip to Colorado this Summer I got me a airline case to take my bike. Pretty cool so now I got a way to get it there safe, just need to get the $ to pay for it.

Easter Sunday

Nice Easter Sunday to get out and ride my new favorite route the Gold Hill Ridge + It takes me about an hour and thirty minutes to ride if the wind isn't bad. Beautiful views of the surrounding Piedmont area of North Carolina. All this is just a bike ride away for me. I try to take advantage of it as often as I can.
