Coronavirus lockdown and exercising outdoors

[ChrisF]

Sooo..... Getting back to the thread title.

 

How are you people going to train now that we are allowed outdoors? Realistically for me I'll at best get 1 1/2 hours in. I like my bed and I don't have a light. 

 

Are you still going to do indoors or are you going full analog?

Are you going to smash hills and intervals due to the limited time?

Are you planning your routes to take in hills or are you trying to smash as many kms as possible inside the 5km radius of treason? Or both?

 

I didn't do anything yesterday. I'm ok with that coz it was raining and I hate riding in the rain. Tomorrow the plan is a short 3km run and then swap out the running shoes for cleats and hammer some intervals until 8.45 and gap it for home. I'm on a Zwift program and I want to finish that but not at the expense of real riding.

 

Weekdays I am at my desk by 6:00 .... so it is IDT during the week .... should be doing more bio-rehab during the week. 

 

Week-end .... I am OUT the door by 6:00 ....

If you think or anybody thinks that they are anonymous on this forum, they are very much mistaken.

I have yet not been able to find out who somebody is within 15mins of trying.

 

As for Karen's being brave. Well I suggest we google Bill Burr's thoughts on what brave is. Fireman are brave. We and the Karen's are just bitchy.

Mrs Pancakes would disagree.... She is unknowable!

ai here we go again with "the rules are the rules and we must just accept them."

You'd do well in a fascist society. That's not a slight against you its just that some people are made for following every rule unconditionally and others are made to question the validity of said rules.

 

So if the government legalised murder you'd go and shoot someone? Because you know, its the law and I must obey

 

I for one don't agree with the face mask rule or the time restrictions, but I follow them. You can questions and lobby to change rules/laws you don't agree with them while still following them while they are in place.

Hi guys (from the Raffa Bike group)

 

This is a warning! Don't try exercising after the 9 am curfew. I was held by the police for 14 hours. No food no water no chairs to sit on. Just hard concrete floor. Unbelievably cruel. Animals at the SPCA are treated better.

 

I was arrested on Friday for riding my bicycle after the curfew. 5kms away from home. They are not messing around. Please do not take any chances. Forward this without disclosing my name.

 

First I spent 9 hours in a holding cell at a police station with four other men, two beggars, one guy caught driving at 745 pm and the fourth was caught illegally transporting chemicals. Thankfully all nice people. I paid bail for the 2 beggars because they were seriously screwed and would have stayed in jail for a week or two.

 

The worst part was not having a clue what was going to happen next and when. The holding cell had a solid steel door, no way of communication unless you shout. We sat in there for hours hoping an officer would tell us what was going on - all the while thinking that any minute they would allow us to pay for bail and get the hell out of there.

 

When I was arrested I was told that I should expect bail "soon". I did not see police officer for a few hours after being locked up and even then whenever anyone appeared they would say "yes yes soon don't worry".

 

Eventually they moved us in a police van late Friday night to the Randburg police station where our fingerprints were taken. That took another 2 hours. Finally I was released after paying R500 bail at 3 am after being taken back to Douglasdale police station.

 

No amount of pleading or asking for a second chance helped. I did not dare offer a bribe. The guys who arrested me did not ask for one.

 

Bail was granted and I have to make an appearance in court in Randburg on 2nd July.

 

Please, this is not a joke. Nor an exaggeration. Don't mess with them/tempt fate. Black, white, rich or poor it doesn't matter.

Thanks for the heads up , don't wish this upon anyone, not even the naughty okes

 

That said - if he was still 5km away from home after the curfew it is safe to say he was a very very naughty boy...

So this thread still has not answered my dilemma of phoning the cops about the home owner smuggling in labour to complete his refurb in our complex.

What sours this, is I am in construction related industry as well, and would love nothing more than get back into completing some projects, but alas.

 

As for riding outdoors, I have not done so. I almost went this morning, but I just cant get out of bed.

But Cape town sounds like a hectic place to ride. Bicycle ownership sounds like it is through the roof. 

 

Maybe tomorrow, just to see what all the fuss is about.

Legal doesn't mean compulsory..

If he's not in thick with the estate managers speak to the manager and see what they think

 

If either of those two have their head up the others' ass then their just gona continue and power their way around it I think
