Don't ride in groups or we will be stopped cycling completely.

I don’t see being sat around in a park as exercise.

Precisely

 

[T.M.H.N.E.T]

I don't disagree at all. But there is a difference between not in the spirit (I won't be doing a 6 hour ride) and saying the guidance says an hour is excessive.

Obviously, when the guidance (legislation) doesn't say that to begin with

Precisely

I agree. But we have to remember those without gardens who need some time outside. There is an emerging equality issue here. Maybe instead of closing parks we should be opening golf courses and similar to keep densities low.

As long as you wave.

If you ride in company is that a cosine?

I have deliberately ignored the weekend for a ride as I knew it would be busier than either Monday or Tuesday. Will check the weather in the morning and hopefully have a quiet solo ride with no interactions. It was a lovely morning early on so did my Couch to 5 K run day 4 at 08.00, one dog walker spotted and one power walker seen in the distance. 👍

Indeed of course. There’s nothing to stop people walking or running around parks and so on for an hour or so, but it’s the sitting around socialising in multi household groups that’s the issue and has been a no no since social distancing measures came in

Nothing in Legislation but the guidance is an hours exercise.

No it is not. A throwaway comment on a chat show by Gove. There is nothing in the guidance about an hour.

Just by the by I got an email from my local council about the parks. It had some more specific dos and donuts*.

The donuts were - Don't: Gather in groups; Have picnics; Sunbathe.

*autocorrect but I like it.

I'm hoping today's sunshine has sharpened up my tan lines.

My ride finished down the hill from Pott Shrigley to the lights at the Legh Arms

I cycled up the main road from Poynton and turned right at the Legh Arms

Just after I did, two cyclists together came the other way so I called them out. Guess what? Strava flybys show it was two cycling friends riding together. I really can't believe the ignorance of some people. They didn't hide their ride, obviously thought it was fine to do so

Not a road I would normally contemplate à velo, too busy to enjoy. I imagine it was quite pleasant today?

Careful that could end up with a load of hyperbolic in the tabloids.

Round here early morning or late evening are the quietist times. Not that it is busy round here.

Yeah, then we'd really be under the cosh

Yeah, then we'd really be under the cosh

and that could escalate exponentially
