Ahh, the green rolling hills of California's coast. I'm up in the Sierra's where rain is pretty common, but it's snowing today. No rides for a couple of days.A few photos from my ride yesterday... no ride today with a rare rainy day in California.

We're entering week three of our lockdown here in New South Wales, Australia. The leaves are beginning to turn orange - what few are deciduous anyway - and the weather is just starting to get crisper at nights (and by crisper I mean sub 20 degrees celsius). Under the new regime full time work and full time home school means sleep and exercise have been the slack to fall by the wayside. I used to commute to work each day on my bike, which was always time I really valued, bookending each working day, clearing the mind and exercising the legs and lungs. I'm trying to get into some regular exercise habits to fill that void.
Today after editing at the computer all day I took my new Giant on a blast up some hilly suburban streets, down into some rough MTB tracks and back home. The MTB tracks were probably a bit ill-advised as the bike is geared up for my sealed commute with 40mm Marathons and pannier - I slid, skidded and rattled my way up and down very loose 20 degree inclines and gingerly through a few shallow creek crossings - but it was good to see what the bike was capable of. The engine was certainly more than willing on the steeper climbs but I won't be taking it back in there regularly with the predictable lack of traction.
The gentle incline down from the park was nice, all on a wide shared pathway with the motor cut just peddling along. The pathway was busy with exercisers. Like others here I've never seen so few cars on the roads and so many people out walking and cycling. I'll try and do this every few days to preserve some degree of metabolism and sanity.

Feel fortunate to be in an area where roaming freely about is easy and without limitations other than standard social distance protocols but easy enough to do because I don't see hardly anyone and keep my distance if I do.

My north out and back that has options enough to keep it interesting for awhile

After my last ride I felt a little guilty about taking so many photos, after all we are only allowed out for exercise! So I will be cutting down on the photos until things return to normal...
32 enjoyable leisurely miles today, it was one of those days the direction you were travelling in made all the difference due to a cold south westerly breeze! At least it was dry and sunny so thats always a bonus in these parts, once again I got home with a clean bike! My 2020 total now stands at 1156 miles from 25 rides giving me an average of 46.24 miles, the next 2 days are looking good with rain coming on Friday so that will be my rest day I think

Firstly, I'm positive some of us view (
) your photos as essential. Secondly, will things ever be "normal" again?
Great post and impressive mileage!
