Others have expressed the opinion that no one should ride at all and to risk a burden on the system is selfish. I would agree if we were overloaded at this point, but we are not.
I'll be riding tomorrow, hoping to get on the bike twice. A 35 miler in the morning and another 12 miles on road or an hour off-road with the kiddos later. There's enough of a wind around here that I just don't see anything hanging out in the air that by the same logic wouldn't get me in the yard and I'm going stir crazy from having them locked up except for rides for the last week and so are they.
