Solo Metric Century While "Sheltering in Place"

As I’m sure has happened in many places, our County Public Health Department has urged “sheltering in place” beginning March 17. In response my cycling club has cancelled all rides until April 7th, at which point we’ll reassess. That meant my ride on Tuesday was cancelled, which is what I had planned to turn into a metric century. So I decided to go for the 100K solo instead. It was a beautiful day, a break from all our recent rain. Here is the route, mostly South and east of Morgan Hill, but I threw in some northern riding on the Coyote creek trail also:

I rode Roop road up to the Coyote Lake entrance to Harvey Bear park. Here’s the view of Coyote lake from Coyote lake road. There’s usually a lot of camping in this park but it was almost empty.

“Sheltering in place” can make you get cabin fever. Getting out in nature is a great antidote!

At this moment, I am a doctor and a health blogger. I wrote my first blog post in 2008 about a new symptom I had experienced with my skin. By 2011, I was writing almost weekly about medical topics and had become a contributing writer at fitcoachion.com. It didn't take me long to realize that this was what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. In 2014, I started working as a doctor and have written more than 25,000 words in that capacity. In addition to working as a doctor, I have also worked as a public relations specialist and as an English tutor.
