Halfbike in Shelby

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

Halfbike in the Country

I took the non-rainy part of the day for a Halfbike ride. Since the road to/from the park’s entrance is steep & nearly devoid of cars I got to coast down it & then (nearly) ride all the way up it — with 7 miles of Peeler Park in between.

Excellent fun and a good leg-burner

The road is very tough & worth the effort
