Traveling during a pandemia... Covid-19 adventures

 Well, 2020 was a different year for everyone in the planet. But, as always, disruption creates opportunities for innovators, sure enough some people will come out of this stronger, more resilient and with a different of way to see their life. For me the lack of daily interaction with people has been a challenge. I consider myself a very social person, I like to hug, shake hands, etc. and that hasn't been acceptable during this social distancing times..

New Years ride 2021, 100 Miles !

This year I put on new carbon wheels and they are the best !  The group was big given the Covid situation.. we were at least 20+ riders at the start. Very easy to keep a 40 k/ph when you are taking pulls once every 30 minutes.  We rode all the way from my mom's house to Lake Okeechobee in Central Florida. Beautiful roads without much of a shoulder, but nice and flat. After that I rode to the house to meet the kids and the rest of the family and headed to the beach for a New Year's plunge in the ocean !
