Ride Description:

Day # whatever into this sort of Shelter in Place and fortunately for us our governor allows us some freedom to exercise for fitness. I started later because of the chilly temperatures and started from my usual spot at the Bud Plant. There were a lot of cars in the lot and later on I saw a lot of people out at Sosebee Bike Park. 

Rolling out of the brewery there was a cyclist wearing a bright yellow jersey and helmet. I thought I would just keep a certain pace off her 6 and early on I thought she was going to leave me. That would have been fine with me, but eventually I caught up with her and eased on by. From that point I was solo the rest of the way and only one other guy came by me like I was sitting still. He went by quickly and I was back to being solo. 

The ole LOOK ran well with a cleaning this morning and a new hot wax treatment. Sweet!

It was a beautiful day to be out. Great to see so many out enjoying the day and trying to keep some fitness during this Covid-19 thing.

Interesting at the end there were several cyclists talking casually. They were all talking about wearing scrubs, the cost of scrubs and if the hospitals supports cleaning. They were laughing and seemed to be enjoying the day. They did not seem stressed or freaked out. They were standing near each other and about to ride together. Right or wrong it gave me a good feel that if they are not that worried about it than should I be? The fact is I have not felt an ounce of anxiety over this since it started.
