Skywatch Friday – Socially Distant Bike Ride

2020_0401_164922_038

Here we are still sheltering in place, along with most of the rest of the world. Here we can go out on errands like grocery shopping and such including outdoor exercise as long as we practice social distancing. I went out on a bike ride along a bike path close to the house.

I’ve ran, walked, biked and geocached along this path dozens of times over the years.

Generally I have this 20 plus mile trail to myself but not any longer. Lots of people are looking for a little exercise to make our stay at home more bearable.

I had never seen so many people on this trail.

But there is still wide open spaces.

And when we were passing each other we all got way over on the edge of the trail.

I’m actually kind of hoping that people make this being outside a permanent part of their lives after the crisis is over.

I saw an interview with our latest national hero Dr. Anthony Fauci explained about the seasonality of viruses. He says it is not the heat, its the ultraviolet light from the sun that kills the viruses. I killed a bunch of them yesterday. But because I am skin cancer survivor I slather on the sun block very heavily. Can the viruses hide under my sunscreen? Just thought I give fearful something to be afraid of (not really.)

And that is a wrap as I turn off my Go Pro clone.

Are you spending time outside, fully in compliance with whatever orders you are under? Tell me about it.
