Very nice to hear from you and good to know you are keeping an eye out and free range cycle-ing. Sharon is right. Susan reminds me better to regret being a little too cautious than to look back and wish we were a little more cautious. Like you, we go out for morning masked walks. I have gone out for a few rides. Last week, masked the whole time, rode 5 miles on the new, very nice Wayland West part of the Central Trail. There were times I felt like I was contributing more than I should to the population density so I'll save a return for a downpour. Out here on the metrowestern frontier I've gone out for a few solo rides with mask ready to pull up whenever there is company within 50 meters. I think about wind direction, relative wind speed, turbulance and then a car full of people goes by. Masking up hills is difficult and dubious so yesterday's as-solo-as-cycleops rain ride was relaxing with a few doses of wet brakes and wet glasses.
