The weather should finally be perfect for a mountain ride on Sunday. Anyone up for a ride in the Cuyamacas, starting at 8:30? Julie is out of town, but the rest of you?

Evil forces are working against us:

1. COVID-19

2. PHYSICIAL SEPARATION AND MASK REQUIREMENTS

3. CLOSED PARKS AND TRAILS

If that wasn't enough, the soil will be very soggy everywhere.

So, unless we want to drive (individually) to the desert, I'm not sure there's a ride option available for us tomorow.

Thoughts or feedback?

I've been doing a little work in advance trying to scope out a Sunday ride. As you probably know all San Diego City parks are closed and most San Diego County parks are open. So I'm thinking our best bet might be to ride Sycamore Canyon, starting at the north end. Juli and I just drove out to the Sycamore trailhead off of Fanita and it is open, but a rider said it was pretty muddy. The north end has a lot more elevated riding. Since we can't get in at Sycamore West because of closure, we should be able to go in at the Beeler Canyon Road trail entrance. Here's the Google maps location:

We're certainly in a challenging time, but between the Corona virus social distance recommendations (prisoner in your home) and rainy weather, I feel a strong need to get outdoors. It seems to me that as long as we maintain a safe distance from each other and don't eat potato chips out of the same bag, it could be pretty low risk.

I'm in Tucson this weekend, so I'm hoping you can organize a ride all by yourselves. See you next weekend!
