Ride Description:

We are currently in moment of time like I have not experienced in my life. With the Covid-19 or Coronavirus spreading worldwide much has been shutdown and people are isolating as needed or by mandates. Our governor has not called out state into a lock down in our homes and I am grateful. One of the things we are requested is to keep at a distance from one another and not be in groups. Among many other precautions. I am by no means an expert on this subject so I will avoid getting into the details of this. 

It was great to get out for a solo ride.

Ride Description:

Out and back and easy spin on the Comet. Just for historical or hysterical purposes this ride was during the time of the Covid-19 (Coronavirus). We have been advised to stay in our homes and away from people except for certain necessities. I don't see the harm on being outside and away from people. On the other hand I am aware that after yesterday's 70 mile ride combined with today could lower my immune system so I did an easy spin and shorter miles. Plus, I finished just before it started raining.

Ride Description:

I met Mike and Greg at Sosebee for what we hoped would be a nice day for a 50 mile route. About 15 miles into the course it started raining on us lightly. With the low 50 degree temperature and in a summer kit I got cold quickly so I was fairly content with each of us deciding to cut the route short. Even though it was not really that cold it still took me most of the drive home with the car heat on high to get warmed up.
