Mid South Gravel
One day after the ride Stillwater declares a state of emergency because of the coronavirus.
I'm guessing this could be one of last organized rides for the near term.

It may depend on how you define near-term.

I would guess it's going to be through early Summer - flattening the curve also means making it longer.

MADCO100
It was interesting to read how many people chose not to participate in the MidSouth race due to travel and concern. Or put another way, it was interesting to see how many people chose to participate in it, given the health organizations and government's recent requests for no large gatherings and reduced travel.
Im not judging either way here. I genuinely find it interesting to see what is participated in and what isnt, and what each person's threshold of comfort is in an unprecedented(for most of us) situation like this.

The next event I was signed up to do, the MADCO100, cancelled on Sunday. It was set for May 2nd. Bummed about that, but I get it.

If check-in was automated/online/spread over many hours, there were no pre-ride close contact events, and lining up to start was spread out- its less of an issue and concern.
I honestly dont know the details.

I dont know how contained and close to others everyone was at any given time, which is why I specifically said my comments arent a judgement.

Mid/late May rides are right around 8 weeks out...so they're maybe possible, but April is almost certainly hosed. June isn't looking great. In Wuhan it took 3 months of complete societal/commerce/industry shutdown to stop this bugger; those folks only just yesterday were allowed outside for the first time in 3 months. As much as measures are being put in place already--people are still being people and potentially making matters worse, thinking these things don't apply to them.
