Headed out the door now. It rained a bit yesterday, for maybe a half hour or so of soaking, but things outside look OK. I imagine it isn't going to be prime so it may end up being a park/street excursion to air it out for a while. More rain on tap for tomorrow; I am going to get what I can now.

The wife and I did a hike through Cherry Canyon yesterday. Lots of hikers (with dogs off the leash 
) and riders up there. I guess there isn't a whole lot to do since school and work is out for so many. And hero dirt.... Super duper awesome hero dirt. I think I'm gonna hit it after work this afternoon.

You can still walk your dog and MTB!

Management has told us that UPS is exempt. Looks like I'll be wearing my uniform 24/7 until this is over.

But you can still go out and ride with your friends as long as there are less than 10 of you and you maintain a 6 foot distance from each other.
Workwise, yeah we're screwed.

Massive OT, perhaps?!

Already happening. We went from laying off drivers to needing helpers in less than a week.

It's recommended that you get outdoors, just not in groups.

Depends where and what you read! And if you could read and see, You would see that I've back tracked from what I posted just above, so clearly I read something different and changed my thoughts. I know riding our bikes is considered essential for us, but it's not for your average Jo Blow.

This weekend's fare looks tasty and relatively tame: https://www.mtbproject.com/trail/545396/high-desert-trail-system-3rd-and-2nd-mesa-loop
Also on topic...quick NoAZ bikepack is looking imminent. Highline Trail east of the AZT portion, pretty spectacular just below the rim, as I suffered the western part already. I'll hop up on the rim road for the return if surface allows. Looks primo... https://www.trailforks.com/trails/highline-trail-31-fish-hatchery-to-washington-park/

Got it. Just another update at 11:00PM and to clarify. You can walk, bike and drive according to Channel 5 News with all the do’s and don’ts.

Romp under the Rim 
Lollipop starting at highway 260 heading west. Minimal pavement, way over 50% ST, all of it new to me except Washington Park (the high north point). 74/8400
https://www.trailforks.com/ridelog/planner/view/95570/
This will be tougher than the AZT overnighter I did a couple weeks ago. Same strategy – solo, one minimal bivy, ready-to-eat food, Steripen water resupply, bike light just in case. I'm thinking that, because of the recent storm, the return trip south of Highline Trail could have better surface conditions than on top of the rim.
I've driven past these trails a hundred times, so this foray is well overdue.
