If I were logging fake miles on the trainer I'd be podium.

Drat. Somehow the Hananero’s shifters are not quite identical in profile. When I redid the cables etc I set the level at the back part of the shifters. It’s level there and level where the hoods touch the top part of the bar. But the meaty part of the hoods (where you rest your hands often while riding) is NOT level and off by about 6-7mm. It only bothers me a little, but I don’t think I can adjust one of the hoods unless I unwrap the top half of the bar tape. Don’t wanna!
Suggestions?

I rode a very leisurely 48 miles today on my old man bike. Super fun until I bonked at about 30 miles in. But even then it was still kind of fun.
I've never seen so many cyclists out on the roads, I must have passed 6 at least.

I will give it a try. It’s not terribly far off.

For what it is worth, the Delaware State Police have started stopping cars with out of state plates. The rule from the Governor is that if you come here from out of state that you need to quarantine for 14 days, and the point of the stop is to make sure that people know. Unfortunately I still have Virginia plates, but I have no reason to go out, so I guess it doesn't matter. My wife has Delaware tags - if we need to, we can take her car.
Just out of boredom, we started a 2000 piece jigsaw puzzle about a week ago. Probably the hardest one I have ever attempted. But I have time to kill and nowhere to go.
And to further fight off boredom, we are making yeast donuts this evening. We mixed the dough earlier - it is raising now. We plan to cook them after dinner. A neighbor gave us an electric fryer that we will use when the time comes.

I don't get it, either. While I was out on my ride, I saw a portly fellow jogging with a mask... under his chin. Not to be rude, but you could clearly tell that this guy was going to have challenges getting enough air in to his lungs even without a mask, so I don't know what kind of caution paired with optimism lead to his decision to bring it along in the first place.
For cyclists... I suppose that there are a lot of people that ride at an effort level that's akin to walking, so maybe air intake isn't an issue. I don't know what they're protecting themselves from, but it's not getting in the way, at least?

Any indication that any of them were riding together? Maybe they felt it would be appropriate precaution for a group ride?

Mystic Monk Espresso beans are so smooth, you get a nice cup of coffee with a little suds to it. I was hesitant, but they're good.

Not really. Saw a few couples masked, but all the non-familial-looking groups were riding bareface. Also lots of people obviously driving around for nonessential purposes with various recreational equipment on their cars.

Speaking of group rides, I only saw one today - four people. Everyone else was either solo or a couple (I assume). I did have one dude blow a snot rocket in front of me - he was about 30' up the way, but even before the current events, I would have been more courteous than that.

The outdoor areas were jammed, and if they were fenced off, they parked on the road. Boulder.... I shake my head.

It felt good to do a climby-climby ride today. Since racing season looks to be kaput, may as get to riding. Super Flag, down the other side to Gross, Sunshine to the dirt, and back home.

They don't come out and say so, but I think the concern is that people from NY/NJ bring more virus here. Some number of people up there have 2nd homes down here - if their plan was to ride the thing out down here, they should have come weeks ago. Come to think of it, this is the time of year the snowbirds start to come back from Florida. People can come of course - you are just required to quarantine for 14 days. I don't know what if any legal enforcement exists.
Not like there is much to do - the restaurants and stores are all essentially closed. Boardwalk and beach are closed (with a few limited exceptions). No restrictions on yardwork.
