Roadkill Report: an opossum on The Approach.
Word is out. Cycling is pandemic-approved and essential and The Mountain is closed to cars so the road was thick with cyclists of all stripes. Notably, there were quite a few folks who looked like Diablo was the toughest challenge they'd attempted in quite a while. I saw one guy on an old StingRay.
Still a few vehicles on the road though - I saw multiple State Park trucks, a diesel re-fueling truck for the PG&E equipment, and one PG&E van.

| These posers got yelled at by a Park Ranger for not keeping socially distant. They pretended to acquiesce, but then ignored him. |

| This rider (R) had what I believe are the shortest bike shorts I've ever seen. |

| The Mountain is a cruel exposer of posers... These guys had high-end equipment and gear but couldn't climb,... Big hats, no cattle. |

I was up (and out of) the park before it opened. Got reprimanded at the Junction when I stopped too.
Love the commentary!
I've seen plenty of bad examples of social distancing while riding lately. Full on teams of 6 to 12 riders (looking at you Splunk and Kovarus) riding in pace lines - no masks, no attempt at being safe. At the market in Sunol there was a group of 8 that stopped, no social distancing there either. My guess is that they read somewhere that lycra was Antiviral and they were safe?
It's a weird world out there.
