I have never done a ride like this before. In fact, I don't even have a road bike (just a mountain bike). Riding on a bike trail sounds safe and fun.

But I also like that it was a new experience for you and that Covid protocols were carefully observed. I've noticed a huge difference between road cyclists and those who do trails. The road cyclists are usually very rude and just stressed out (at least here and in my experience!) and those who do trails/MTB are far more relaxed and friendly.The Gaborone Runnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15951125773361296619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5884362622170497685.post-54829517696960302352020-08-25T18:28:36.800-05:002020-08-25T18:28:36.800-05:00I do believe a ride such as this probably doesn...I do believe a ride such as this probably doesn't attract the real competitive cyclists, but still.
