Yes...but only to the grocery store. :( I bring my Kriega backpack and tailbag and haul back whatever I need then come straight home. I think it takes me more time to gear up than the actual ride is. :D I have been keeping my helmet on the whole time, even when in the store. It’s no different than before because I never leave my helmet outside and I was always too lazy to carry it. Now it does double duty on protection. If someone coughs or sneeze I just shut the visor and if I need to, I also shut it. Hehe.

I went out a week ago after a couple days of rain and a wash/bike detail. On a day with no expected rain, a cloud wrung a sponge and a deluge of water hit while I was in the store. It stopped when I got out then did it again at the next store. I had a good laugh, as did the guys in the store who said, “Regretting your life decisions? You weren’t expecting that one, huh? Neither were we.” I said....”It was worth it!” Nothing a detail spray can’t fix with a microfiber cloth!

It’s probably the best mileage I’ve gotten so far....3 weeks to the tank LOL

Ride safe...ride alone :)
 
Well, I went diving yesterday... The governor's order allows leaving home for outdoor activity. And Lake Phoenix was open....

I got in a nice 2.5 hours. Some, futzing with my new camera and the rest playing, scootering around with my new BlackTip. :-) Took my own lunch. Paid online. Didn't have to interact with anyone except my dive buddy. He and I are both single, live alone, work from home, and have both been cooped up alone (in our respective houses) for the last 2 or 3 weeks, so I wasn't too worried about having him ride along with me there and back in my truck.

The lake had 4 other divers there and the water was crystal clear (and 51F degrees). It was lovely!
 
It was a beautiful day for a ride today. I rode uphill for two hours before finally coasting a bit on the way home. Lots of folks out Social Congregating. I did see a couple with masks on.

I've got a bike! I'm picking it up later in the week. Had to order a helmet and tire pump off Amazon. They deliver Friday. That's OK. Will be nice to be able to get out in the local nature preserve.

Do they have helmet law down in IL? Up here we don't so mine's been gathering dust in the pile of other bike parts pretty much since Amazon delivered it.
