I've been doing similar, but purely bike path stuff at the moment. I figure if I'm going to work less hours I should finally tackle the fitness I keep promising myself I'll get stuck into but am always too tired to do. I rode Saturday arvo, Sunday arvo, Tuesday after work and again tonight totalling roughly 70km since Saturday. Been loving it and feeling better for it already (and it's been a great way to destress). Might not be trail-riffic, but at least it's getting the legs spinning more than usual!Being a perfect example of a dad body, I figure the three best things I can do right now are stay away from other people, lose weight, and do personal care stiff that needs doing while I still can.
In the service of those two goals I went on a proper ride of the Rune yesterday around Manly Dam which is fun but pretty tame for the Northern Beaches of Sydney. I'm finally starting to gel with the bike. Far out its a real plow machine. It's just such a solid bike, that it makes me feel like I can hit stuff hard and fast with no problems.
I've still got a little bit too much pressure in the Fox 36s but the Grip damper is working a treat. Soooo much better then the overdamped rc2.
I'm running the Float X2 with the baseline settings and they seem to be working ok. Will need to do some bracketing to fine tune it.
Also decided to take the super tourer on a round trip to get my hair cut (in an otherwise empty barber wearing a face mask), see my podiatrist (same), and pick up some medication from Sydney cbd (same). Glad to report that Manly, Mosman, Neutral Bay, North Sydney and the cbd were ghost towns.

Riding in the rain is ok, a little like riding in the middle of a 40 degree day covered in sweat.I tried to have an MTB blast after WFH yesterday - started pouring with rain at 3pm.
