Strangely, the busiest traffic has switched from the roads to the cycle paths. To remain in isolation and exercise, we took the main road up the valley - something I'd never normally consider as I'd be too worried about the traffic. It was a surreal experience. The views were different on a bike than from a car. You get to soak in so much more when you're not going 60mph. And as a bonus, the road had been recently resurfaced!
We had the wind behind us for the uphill, then after a quick pitstop in a layby, we cruised downhill into the wind. Moving quietly and generally pretty slowly, we passed right by a huge buzzard in a tree on the side of the road without disturbing it.
We only saw a handful of cars.
