The COVID restrictions caused me ramp up my cycling to longer and more challenging rides. I have the good fortune to live near areas of natural beauty that have a variety of challenging terrain. Mostly without having to share with a lot of traffic. Although, I have had my egress hampered by fiesty critters. Otters, turtles, chipmunks, geese, turkey vultures, to name a few. The groundhogs are visibly patrolling on garbage day. I don't stand a chance when there is a tasty pizza crust in the bin!
The COVID restrictions also broke down my reticence to relieve myself without 3 walls and a stall door. All park conveniences and cafes were closed for most of it. One day I found this lonely port-a-potty. So I celebrated the way most people do; having a wee, then getting some rapper jewelry.
