Hello Everyone. It is quite the times we are living in. Many are wondering if we will be doing our weekly community rides. We were hoping to start up soon but there are many logistics that must be worked out to follow all the guidelines so that everyone remains safe and we do not get fined.
While riding with those outside our social bubble, it is highly recommended to leave a larger distance than 6 feet (2 metres) between each other. For Social ride cyclist must stay at least 20 to 30 feet (7 to 10 metres) apart and not ride beside each other. It is also recommend that riders have a staggered riding pattern so that no one is behind someone else’s breathing droplets.
Hard rides or fast rides the distance is much further apart up to at least 50 feet (17 metres).
The other problem to overcome is the gathering limits. We are only allowed 10 people to gather at one times. In the past it was informal and was an open invite but now we must make sure we do not go beyond the gathering limits.
With these two being the main problem it is hard to create a riding program were we can do what we did before.
I am continuing to research and waiting on other information before we go forth.
For now get out on your bikes and ride with your family while practising safety all around. Please share your adventures with us. Let us continue to encourage each other in a virtual way until we can overcome the obstacles that are before us today
