Hey Folks,
Anyone riding during this pandemic? I have mixed feelings bout riding during this social distancing thing. I live in S Ontario. Like to hear your thoughts.

 

Im in Toronto. 8 degrees this aft. Rode from Ajax to Richmond Hill to visit my brothers grave. Short ride, but first of the year.

I'm all about social distancing. Don't go anywhere in crowds. Stay clear of people.

But yes, I will ride every day I can.

 

I live in Rural Manitoba so a lot less people but yes I will do some local riding just likely no large group rides for lunch.

 

I live in Elgin county SW of you. It's generally more rural than your area and the experts say that this virus is not airborne(I hope). I have ridden every day the temp has been at least 8C. The closest I get to other people is the fuel stop and I wear gloves during that process.

 

my second house is in Sauble Beach. Close to you too.

 

Will I be riding, yes, definitely. Waiting for warmer weather, roads are clean. I’m a lone wolf when riding, stop only for gas (use paper towels with gas nozzle). This will put the saying “it’s the ride, not the destination “ to test.

 

Already been riding a couple times. Buddy from work and I are going to plan some day trips. Pack lunches and only stop for gas with similar precautions. Safer riding with him than talking face to face.

 

I've made a couple of shorter rides. It was 16 here today so my son in law and I met up in the middle of where we live we each brought our own cup of coffee and visited 10 ft apart.

 

Weather out here has been decent, but just can't justify the cost of insurance(my job vanishing virtually overnight doesn't help either) against how unenjoyable it is to ride without any real destination, people to see or errand to run. Normally get the bike out in the next few weeks but will be holding off now to closer to June 1st instead of May 1st.

 

I'm riding, and if anyone asks, "I'm testing out my new carb..."
