Jeff

I am a retired guy that grew up in Charlotte, NC and really started cycling in 2024 because of my arthritic knees. My initial goal was to ride to help me hike and help me walk without so much discomfort. A "high speed, low drag" approach, so to speak. The difference in how I feel has been remarkable! I love to learn and encourage what others are doing and do not feel obligated to meet anyone else's judgment as I share my own journey.

On a mission to have lunch with my daughter.

Today I rode Charlotte's Blue line Rail to the University so I could eat lunch with my daugther and then enjoy the bike ride back to where I started my day. She works at the Center for Student Health for the University, so this was a wonderful way for us to connect in the middle of her busy day!

New Saddle Day!

Today was the maiden voyage for my Brooks England B17... my goto 15 mile Beer Run, but this time on a saddle with a reputation big enough to make you nervous. Some riders call it the gold standard for commuting and touring. Others… well, let’s just say their sit bones filed complaints. I’ve been both excited and a little anxious about this first ride, but early into the ride, the feel clicked and I found myself officially in the “this thing is worth it” camp. The first couple of miles were slick and firmer than I’m used to, but once I settled in, it felt natural. By the halfway point, I knew I could’ve kept going. Feels good to start the break‑in journey on such a high note.

Blue Line, Start to Finish — 22 Miles of CLT

Rode the entire length of Charlotte’s Blue Line by bike today with my nephew — 22 miles from the 485/South Blvd terminus to UNC Charlotte Main. We pieced it together through greenways, side streets, and the neighborhoods that parallel the line, watching the city shift as we moved north. It’s wild how much of Charlotte you can feel when you trace its spine this way — skyline angles changing, pockets of the city unfolding one by one. We capped it off by hopping on the light rail and letting the train carry us right back to where it all began. A perfect CLT point‑to‑point adventure.

It is always nice to explore the area by bike.

Traveling back by train is a nice, comfortable thing.

Happy Easter!

A quiet morning on Stone Mountain Summit Trail.

A brisk morning walk on my own to start a beautiful day. My intent was to go to the waterfall, but the trail was closed. So, instead, I enjoyed a nice quiet walk along the mountainside of Stone Mountain.
