Reasons to Ride Your Vehicle
The Covid-19 pandemic has turned everyone’s life upside down. One way to feel some normalcy is to ride your ATV/UTV! Riding your vehicle offers plenty of health benefits. Getting some vitamin D from the sun and endorphins from the physical activity will boost your overall mood.
If you’re working from home, taking a break and getting some physical activity in can help you focus when you get back to work. Riding your rig will also help reduce stress and anxiety and even fatigue!
Do Your Research
While Wyoming does not currently have a statewide mask mandate, some towns, as well as federal parks and lands, do have requirements. Make sure you do some research before you head out for the day so you know what will be expected of you. The state’s health department suggests that travelers follow the CDC’s recommendation of wearing a mask in public spaces and maintaining six feet of distance from others.
Go Alone
One easy Covid-19 precaution you can take when riding your quad is go by yourself. Riding alone helps you social distance and protect yourself. Although you’ll be outside, it’s still important to avoid being in a crowd.
Take Trails Less Traveled
Speaking about avoiding crowds, taking a trail or route that isn’t super popular will help you do just that! This will ensure that you’ll avoid coming into contact with other riders. Not to mention you’ll have the trail mostly to yourself so you can truly enjoy your ATV or UTV ride!
Take Precautions to Avoid Injury
Since hospital resources may be strained and doctors are busy treating Covid-19 patients, you should take some extra care to prevent an accident. Make sure you wear your helmet and proper gear as well as do a pre-ride inspection.
