A thought- for all rides, whether from Breezy or Greenlawn (and they would remain unofficial rides), perhaps in the interest of safety, people can show up and then leave the lot two by two. These would be express rides, no bunching at traffic lights or stop signs and each rider in the pair of two would be responsible for maintaining the appropriate physical distance. Similarly, if a flat or mechanical were to occur, the individual rider would be responsible for the repair. At least, in pairs, we may be more visible to cars and the like. There are very few cars out but the drivers are not expecting to see bikes/joggers/walkers etc.
There may be, quite frankly, some logistics to figure out- primarily, pairing riders of similar ability and requirements. Some rides might need to be shorter and destination does not have to be the same for all ride pairs. And of course, there is an element of trust that no one will show up that even suspects an exposure.
This may not be a workable or even a sensible idea so if shot down, I take no offense. There may be aspects to it that I have not considered.
