Surveying Hurricane Beryl Destruction On The Trek Marlin 8 Gen 2 MTB
Starting September bike rides on a different mount, my Trek Marlin 8 Gen 2 MTB. Rolling out at 1:12 PM I headed to the greenbelt trails. What better bike to ride the trails than a MTB. As I rode the trails there was plenty of evidence of the tree damage and destruction from Hurricane Beryl almost 2 months ago. Thankfully the trails were clear except for one spot along Mills Branch Drive where a section of concrete was gone. Not sure what caused that. A number of other people were out on their bikes too. The weather was decent but humid and the 9 mph wind was slowed by the trees when I rode on the trails. It wasn’t a long ride coming in at 12.26 miles but it moved the Trek Marlin to 101 miles since I bought it in May this year. My goal for September is 866 road miles which equals 28.9 miles every day. Today was short of that but better than zero.
