Nha Trang Motorbike Street Ride August 2021 Vietnam

Today's adventure is a motorbike street ride starting in Vĩnh Thọ, a Northern District of Nha Trang which then proceeds South along the QL1C highway. National highway 1C is a 17.3 km long road running west-east in Khanh Hoa province, starting at the Ri Ri Pass in Vinh Luong Commune, Nha Trang City, and ending at Thanh T-junction, Dien town, Dien Khanh district. The 1C ride was the former route of Highway 1A before it was rerouted to bypass Nha Trang. Crossing the Cầu Xóm Bóng bridge to Xóm Bóng (or Shadow Village Island) we then cross the Cầu Hà Ra bridge to enter Nha Trang proper. We continue straight south along QL1C until the QL1C/Trần Quý Cáp junction then on into the Vạn Thạnh of Nha Trang.
Given the nature of the current lockdown situation, many of the streets in Nha Trang have been blocked. On any normal day in Nha Trang there are a number of one-way streets in the districts of Phước Tân, Phước Tiến, Lộc Thọ, the beach district of Nha Trang and Tân Lập, the market area of Nha Trang. The result of which saw me backtracking unintentionally ride into some of the downtown Nha Trang streets.
I returned via Nha Trang's main Trần Phú coastal beach road. A video of that journey prior to lockdown can be seen here:

I've uploaded this video almost in its entirety for a couple of reasons. Nha Trang is in lockdown and having received a negative Covid test (my 3rd) on that Thursday I was granted PERMISSION to go outside. I fully support the lockdown measures the government has taken yet sometimes, & out of necessity, you must not leave your place of residence. Without being too specific I was granted permission to leave home, having received a negative Covid test (my 3rd) the Thursday prior. Permission to leave your place is NOT granted on/after this date.
Hopefully Nha Trang doesn't stay like this for too long it's heartbreaking.
