Almost definitely dropped a heap of geys on 'real' bikes fully clad in lycra.......... AND HE DOESN'T EVEN HAVE A GARMIN!

We went for a jog this morning. 

 

Sleeves. MTB gloves. Ciovita bin liner. And it rained on us. It was amazing. I think I'm all IDT'd out. I can't bring myself to even plug my bike onto the thing.

so who has identified a mask or mask supplier that supplies something you can actually ride with - about 10 minutes in i feel like i am about to die of hyper ventilation but realistically  we need to have masks on in most rides.

 

Buffs are okay but what else is there?

These are a good option.

But remember, any mask is a flow restriction device, so you need to make peace with that fact.

Gonna try the anatomic ones probably on friday or in the weekend, they're on their way. Meanwhile I'm using the buff rather than the ciovita for sports as I'm currently mostly focusing on high intensity, I would die in the ciovita one. But for a normal ride anythings fine to me...

Now that we can cycle anytime was there any mention of the 5km radius?

Slow down there buddy. It's not the 1st of June yet, and neither has Mrs Zuma had her say which might bring a halt to your plans as well.

 

But, if she agrees with the Pres, then no time and no distance limitations will apply from 1 June.

not now, only from the 1st of june, and the 5km should also be lifted according to mosts people's understanding.

Mamma Goga is going to tell us later today I believe.

Postponed again. No new time/date as yet.

Seems the only restriction after 1 June is "no groups" - which will  be ignored by the majority of cyclists anyway.

 

And given that churches open up also on 1 June I see no reason why cyclists should feel guilty about breaking that rule - maybe they can go and confess on Sundays..

[Jbr]

if they open churches they can go **** themselves I'll ride where I want

 

EDIT : haha Skubarra I see we got the same thought

The one with strap looks good. Those things that go over the ears would irritate the heck out of me after half an hour.
