State Park Closures AND Reopenings!

[JimN]

I know some places...

I've actually been seeing hikers in some of those other places lately. Hopefully with the regular parks opening back up I'll have that other shit all to myself again.

That's because most people think five inch wide downhill tires are dumb

Is that why you ride on 4.8"s ?

To be honest, they probably measure more like 4.6, but we like to round up.

Eh, my fat bike gets a second lease on its so far really short life, probably starting tomorrow. We'll se how it goes...

You guys fuckin over-analyze (I emphasize the anal in analyze) everything! Under normal circumstances, would you ride after all this rain anyway? Use some common sense. And masks while riding? Really? Just stay home in your bubbles of false security.

FWIW, I don't wear a mask while riding, however if you need to wear a mask in the parking lot to keep the parks open, seems like an easy decision.

There won’t be any crowds if you hit the trailhead rolling at 7AM. You’ll be home and on you second cup of coffee by the time most of the Boomer Snowflakes get suited up in their nifty groovy Patagucci Goretex containment suits for their 1.2 mile family reintroduction selfie Facebook documentary Saturday hike walk.

The sad thing is that if there was an executive order that forced everybody NOT to wear a mask while riding you would certainly have a group of people arguing about the absolute necessity of wearing one...I am joking...but not really...

Wait - wasn't training with o2 deprivation masks a thing a few years back?

 

[Ronnie B]

Would wearing a bandana suffice?

Where a mask or bandana or don't. But just remember...

That’s real sweet and all, but that ain’t one of the conditions required to keep parks open, so should make your decision a non-decision.

i hope it doesn’t do that, just saying if it did. People act like wearing a mask is the end of the world.

According to Murphy it is, they’re supposedly watching very carefully how people behave during this weekend. We’re actually not allowed to ride to TM in Ringwood tomorrow or Sunday, facial mask is mandatory.

It's already been said but...

Wear bandana in lot.
Ride .5-1 mile.
Wrap bandana to bar/stem
Ride
Put bandana back on .5-1 mile from lot
Look like a covid hero
Keep parks open
End

The language i heard on the radio this morning is that they are "urging" ppl to wear facial covering while social distancing is mandatory.
