Arachne in Shelby

My longest Halfbike ride is 17 miles. Missed that today by one or two depending on the device.

I’m picking 16.11

Shelby was nearly empty today but I managed to pass 3 cyclists and one guy on an electric scooter. Plus I rode all the way up the exit path [Spanish pun].

I thought I had an opening for a goon 15 miles in Shelby but only managed 12 of them in my allotted time. Plus I initially hit the AirBike Button on the tracking app so I lost 2 or so miles due to stupidity.

Anyway it was a good ride & I pulled all the way up the exit path to 19th in one sweaty effort.

I believe the way is open for 20 miles

Halfbike in Shelby

Riding at Peeler Park gave me the courage to give the much more hilly Shelby a try on Halfbike. I got lucky in choosing a low-activity day; nearly no cyclists & very few joggers. I stayed away from the most popular paths anyway & got-in a good 10 miles. I saved enough to take a steep exit out too. One rest at the mid-point but that was psychological.

Good strong peaks
