Riding during the coming lockdown

[Honest Andy]

I rode yesterday. Not particularly exciting but it was good anyway.
I was on essential business - blood donation.
Get into it!

With level 3 around the corner, excuse level goes from total bullshit to medium bullshit if caught out of area.

Region... Not area

Region... Not area

So if I've got 07 as my landline prefix that allows a bit of rope

You can travel within your region to exercise. Given how high your heart rate can get, riding should count as exercise!

no you can't, only very local, stop fucking it up for all of us playing by the rules. i take my mrs down in the ca for a walk each day about four kilometers each day, we live in the hills and she's just had stomach surgery and needs to walk to stop blood clots, even then we're armed with paperwork to show this

The problem is... you still have a landline!?

Yeah, strictly speaking no longer necessary. Needed it when we moved into new place, for ahem work related purposes

We made sure my Dad kept his landline:free local calling, hearing aid capability and free answer phone.

The PM said yesterday that you could travel within your region for recreation. But on checking, that’s not what the Covid 19 website says.
It would be helpful if we were given consistent information.

yes you can... BUT keep it real aye, and avoid money machins and fuel stops, if ya full tank at home and do a respectable distance ie less than a tank, dont need to stop near others then why not... ps: hope the missus is doing well

You can... but be realistic, shes talking about surfers simers push bike riders, they aint gona need to go to far for their recreation as far as MC rides go, we travel a lot further as we travel a lot faster so, think about it... me keep it within 100k and why the fuck not...

He's got a unique way of viewing the world, I'll grant you that, but I'm also ok with the way he expresses it.
It's a valid point of course, as we'll likely ditch the landline in next review of domestic services.

Yeah I know, just having a laugh.
I can't get too carried away, my profession comes with an expectation of decorum
The ones who get that, will see the funny in that

I've nearly run in the new bike during lockdown with sneaky trips searching for a pint of milk, taking the long way round the block. The first 2 weeks never saw plod but now they are definitely out and about cruising the back streets.

Was hoping the level 3 would let me go further, like a day out, but doesn't look that way.

well, based on that logic, i have 03 as my prefix as do a lot on here, allows for a lot of scope

It's absolutely valid and I actually agree with Alan. Said quietly of course as someone in our household isn't ready to let it go yet, but I'm working on that
