I intend to go down to Hains Point and ride around on Thursday night. If I am all by myself, then that seems like a pretty safe place to be.
IMO, if you are feeling healthy and have had no known contact with anyone who has COVID-19, the FSLNHPP is an extremely low risk place to be. We’ll all be wearing gear, including bike gloves, there’s a wind that will blow away any coughs (if you need to cough, move away from others and cough downwind) and–other than the restrooms–no surfaces that might have the virus on them.
I feel pretty comfortable with that. If you do not, don’t come.
If you want to kiss me, though, that will require special consideration and permission will only be granted to select individuals.
Steve: first, thanks for inviting me, even if I’m not a FS’er. But I am black flagging myself. I already have plenty of assumed risk in my job- a traveling computer tech is considered “essential”. Gotta do my part “not to spread anything”, as best as I can. Other concern about present time- too many cyclists at midnight in East Potomac Park might get you unwanted attention from Park Police. So I will leave you and a small core group to carry out tradition. Moi & the Trek set up to run FAST at night will be there in spirit.
And hopefully not too far down the road, we can all go for a bike ride *together*. Be safe, all!
