I appreciate Garth, too. I mean I've given him the business many times, but I'm Kinder Gentler Joe now and we're currently in the Apocalypse.

I appreciate Garth. Trying to figure out just what the heck he is saying has taken my mind off the global pandemic for a while.

Re: [RBW] Group Riding / New Covid-19 World
So much depends on what "group ride" means. If your notion of "group ride" means pacelining and close contact that's probably not safe. I led a ride yesterday. My ride report: https://ohbike.memberlodge.org/reports/8827761 11 of us altogether. We had no physical contact with each other, were never closer to each other than around 5-6 feet, usually farther. We rode apart -- there never is pacelining on my rides -- keeping usually at least a car length distance between bikes. I asked at the start that there be no snot-rockets and everyone obliged. At the rest stops, people washed their hands in the rest rooms, and before the ride most people chose a quiet spot behiind a Connex container rather than use the rest room at the Exxon. I modified the ride sign-up procedure to eliminate each rider signing the waiver; instead, they told me their names and emergency contact info and I wrote it down. There were two physicians in the group, and they were content with our "social distancing" practices. It was a fabulous day, great weather, terrific scenery and all made better because of good company (kept at a safe distance, of course). Big rides? Canceled. In fact some of our club were packing for a Moab bike festival when news of the cancellation of the event arrived. Our club hosts a metric century in June that usually gets 500-600 participants; the organizers are planning to cancel the event.

I think you should go ahead and ride solo within reason but keep unnecessary interactions with people to a minimum.

I ride with a couple of different groups regularly, turns out to be 4 or 5 days a week with other riders. What do you all think about bicycle gatherings? We ride in pacelines, wheel to wheel, maybe we shouldn't be. When we gather to start or stop, can practice social distancing SD, but what about moving down the road. Any brilliant ideas? Don't paceline. You shouldn't anyway, for oh so many reasons.
