Am I right in thinking that ....

[Bearbonesnorm]

a night out will be okay from April 12th or maybe March 12th or possibly May 12th?

[thenorthwind]

Yes

[Bearbonesnorm]

Thought so

[BigdummySteve]

Aye, disappointed that I still can’t travel anywhere to ride alone, I can travel 115 miles for work in a film studio or theatre..... still at least we have a date.

Dangerous stuff this local riding.

[Escape Goat]

Looking forward. I may have forgotten how to pitch though.

Won't that depend upon which country you live in?

oh yes indeed....solo

[Bearbonesnorm]

I'm sure it will to a degree Colin, although I can only assume if the powers in Wales and Scotland lag too far behind England, many people will simply crack on regardless.

[ScotRoutes]

If folk are gonna crack on regardless then any date is irrelevant

[Shewie]

Hoping for April 12th when hostels and campsites are open

Time to get my lardy arse in gear

I couldn't see anything about "local" or not for exercise?

What are people's interpretation of how far you can travel to bivvy/day ride?

[ScotRoutes]

From March 29th

Formally organised outdoor sports - for adults and under 18s - can also restart and will not be subject to the gatherings limits.

That looks like the go ahead for groups of cyclists to get together. Maybe it'll be subject to the same caveat as last summer - that any event/ride is organised according to the rules laid out by Cycling UK/Britiah Cycling.

At the risk of being a killjoy, I have a bad feeling about this, there is a good chance for it to go pear shaped. Too much relying on the vaccine being a panacea, and joe public’s lack of patience could cause another lockdown.
Looking at the amount of people booking holidays today doesn’t fill me with confidence.
Hopefully I’ll be proved wrong.

It'll all be over by Christmas

[JohnClimber]

It'll all be over by Christmas

But which Christmas?

[Escape Goat]

Doesn't matter which Christmas John, they're all the same. Beer, chocolate, crap films.

[BigdummySteve]

Too much relying on the vaccine being a panacea,

Well if it isn’t we’re f****ed, by June everyone will be vaccinated. My industry has been decimated by this thing, I’ve spent the last year constantly looking at redundancy while going through a divorce, sometimes I see only a shopkeeper during a week.
I’ve ridden my bike twice since Christmas.
Much as I dislike Boris and his cronies I think he’s got it right, we’re still looking at four months at best.
Some of us really need some leeway, even if it’s only being allowed back out to the hills.
Today’s news has really cheered me up, don’t piss on me chips.

[Escape Goat]

I'm with you mate. I did smile to myself. Next time you go the shop, go by bike, force yourself, once. See how it makes you feel. I forced myself to commute Sunday and I enjoyed it very much indeed.

[BigdummySteve]

I did start riding all my local roads yesterday, fell off today, blood and gears

[Escape Goat]

You know what they say mate....
