Coronavirus lockdown and exercising outdoors


Recommended Posts

... Most people don't share drinks ...

The 2 main reasons alcohol is banned

1 - it will add a 4th national cue (after food, medical, grants)

2 - our huge sharing of a single bottle culture.

 

Quarts are shared, allot. Since starting working in the industry I have learnt that one’s own drinking habits and preferences (middle age white male) is insignificant compared to the habits and preferences of the SA alcohol market.

True but they've realised tobacco products are shared similarly so at least logic has prevailed.

Here's a tool to draw a radius around a point on a map.

 

Set radius to 5.00

Select KM in the dropdown

Navigate to your house, and click on it

Zoom out on the map to see the circle

 

I have a very nice route planned.  Midmar dam takes up about 1/4 of my allowable area, but if SAPPI allow us into the forest, I can ride almost along the circumference on one of the forest roads.

Honestly- after running a path around my house like a dog this past month this sounds like heaven to me!

Agreed. I have had the luxury of a 5km loop on the farm i live on. Cycle and run. It just doesnt make sense to me. To limit the distance or the time. I love morning cycles. I prefer it. Its just to have 1000 people say ride within 7 to 9 (as 6 is still dark) is way more concentrated then spreading it over the day.

I think some guys are misunderstanding. The 6-9AM exercise is not mandatory. No need for excuses.
