Narrative:
Months with no flying activity due to covid-19. VFR departure from runway xx at home non-towered airport. Climbing and turning northwest to clear airport ZZZ. Looking for traffic. Checking ads-B traffic display. Altitude alert set for 1;500 feet MSL to stay below class B airspace of 1;700 feet. Scanned instruments in turn and switching frequency to departure when I noticed altitude at 1;900 feet MSL. Immediately descended and made check in call to departure. Procedural skills were rusty from inactivity.
