Normally for me road riding is something I only do when the mtb trails are too wet to ride
Due to punishment pass^s, pollution and just way too many cars making it an unpleasant activity
But now with the lockdown in place, the roads are really quiet I had what had to be my best ever uk road ride today, no near death experiences, no pollution and virtual solitude on whole ride
Not been doing much mtb rides though as unless you ride in the dark it’s not possible to socially distance on narrow trails, and night riding although fun probably isn’t the most responsible thing to do . Plus I’d say mtb riding at the mo has a higher risk of injury compared to the road with the lack of traffic
Fingers crossed we don’t end up with total lockdown
Ride safe all
