Coronavirus lockdown and exercising outdoors


Recommended Posts

Posted

So when I look at Strava I see a bunch of guys posting their 60km loop far out of the 5km mark with comments like "Nice group side with the xyz Family and abc. The coffee stop was great"

 

So when I whatsapped him to just say that I don't care what you do, how you do it or where you do it but please dont publicly post it as it jepordise it for everyone when they decide to look at Strava.

 

The responce I got was "Ja maar almal doen dit"... and to this time the Strava is still up with 40 likes and even comments of "Nice!"

 

You know what... I have a IDT and it works for me. Let them take it away so those that "Ja maar almal doen dit" can then go sit on their hands again and then they only have themself to blame. Common sense don't seem to be so common after all 

 

Do you honestly think any saps is going to goon strava and prosecute anyone that doesn't stick to the rules? Or rather, do you think they even know about strava, and are that hard-working to even bother.

 

Sounds a bit like a Karen move to me.

edit: i'll elaborate...would you like a possible 'in the know' syndicate to see exactly where you start and finish your rides?....or where he can corner you next Thursday morning around 06:15  :whistling:

Do you ride with your tinfoil hat on under your helmet or does it fit over it like an aero extension?

Yeah, SAPS doesn't give a teeny tiny rats arse. Even more so now that the exercise restrictions are being changed in the coming days.

Any bets on what "relaxed exercise regulations" is going to mean?

 

Trail access?

longer hours?

extended circle of doom borders?

 

I'm not sure. The Riverfields MTB park up the road has been open since level 4 started.

Yes

Yes.

probably bigger window during the day, not so sure about more PoT (lol) or surfing imo. it would suggest opening the beaches and everything that goes with that I guess.

Well they locked up a friend of mine for having a bottle of wine is his boot that he bought before lockdown and just forgot to remove.

 

They are income starved at the moment dont for one moment think "Ag they wont check my Strava jo" cause hey are looking for a reason to make examples of ppl to supliment their income. You paying the bail now is a income stream and you claiming it back over 3 years is quite a lucrative way of suplimentation if you even bother trying to get it back 

 

I personally cant wait for them to grab a group of "Lekker social ride more oggend 6am" group and charge them all to make a propper example.

 

Lets hope its outside the raduis after 9am and they not wearing masks because "I will mos do what I want"

I am happy to stick to the 5km P.O.T. if they relax the self inflicted waterboarding rule

My guess...

 

- No more trail access than what is currently allowed

- Longer hours, maybe an extra hour in the morning and a 2 or 3 hour slot in the afternoon, any luck they remove the time restrictions all together. Doesn't make much of a difference to me though, I have to ride in the 6 to 9 window anyway so I can get to work on time. An afternoon slot to walk the dogs would be great though.

- No extension of the circle of doom

- Maybe allow some water sports but that would mean they have to open beaches, so I wouldn't be too optimistic about that

 

I am guessing online shopping is going to be given a bit more leeway though.
