Coronavirus lockdown and exercising outdoors

[Wayne pudding Mol]

6am - 10am

5am to 9am

 

this way they can say we got another hour but we didn't really

 

seems to be the modus operandi

At that temperature, all the germs will leave your body and wait for you on the beach while you surf.

The water really is the safest place to be 

Cycling down beach road every morning really makes me lus for surf. And sitting in my house while the wind is nuking and I should be kiting is also not lekker.

At least I still have work, so not complaining.

[splat]

I would imagine that's the one rule that will stay for sure...

 

I know - just wishful thinking 

[TNT1]

pffffttt

 

E.coli

 

and ....... sharks

Lies. Sharks can't give you corona.

[DieselnDust]

both..always.

It's easy to just man up and agree to the "do the crime - do the time" principle.

 

Slightly related - I'd happily staple a DNR to my forehead if I could open my workshop again.

Lol I've never seen so many people talking about Strava...

 

Did you know it is possible to go for a ride and not upload the ride to Strava? It's possible, I swear.

 

 

You mean like you ave the ability to make what happened ....unhappen...

 

share this magic oh great Shamen

i ride past it in the mornings....you guys should utilise that coffee bar of yours and apply for essential services (takeaway coffee).....then offer ''off street bike parking'' ....maybe barter using coffee sales   

 

edit: they used to do this at the university "RAG'' festivals with booze sales. Since they couldn't get a licence...you would buy RAG-monopoly money and basically swop them for beer lol.

I’ll be happy with 5-9. Really missing those early morning runs.

On the topic of surfing - what is the lifespan of the dreaded lurgy in cold water i.e. Cape Town cold water of 12 to 14 deg C?

 

It is well known to demise once at least two mouthfuls of salt water have been ingested. Any remaining viral pest will be dealt a mortal blow by the post-surf nasal drip, which by my own experience usually lasts a good 2 hours.

I know a guy who has opened his business despite not being essential services - 2 man business, not much foot traffic.  

 

Stay closed and lose his house or risk losing it because he's in jail  - tough choice

Damn it was cold on the east rand this morning

Even here in the North. Glad I got a long sleeve thing from Sportsmans.

Well, one never knows where those boy'tjies hang out after a game. They might not give you Corona, but I'm sure they'll give you something...

Even here in the North. Glad I got a long sleeve thing from Sportsmans.

when I walked outside I decided it was not cold enough for longs, so just had my normal short bibs with a long sleeve shirt.

When I got back my legs were red from the cold.

 

But it looks like my legs like cycling in the cold, we seem to have one misty morning a week for the last month or so, that misty morning always coincides with my PB on my Giro d'hood loop.

I am thinking surfing may make it onto the list, seeing as we are entering winter, which is not exactly "beach" weather. Being a retired surfer, I can vouch for the fact of the beaches not getting crowded by sun seekers until at least early October.

 

Winter is prime surf season on the other hand. If it stays locked down, I feel pity for the guys and gals desperate for a paddle.

I'm dying for a paddle.

 

I have 3 new boards I shaped during lockdown which I will glass up this coming week. 

 

I am dying to see how they work.... Just to get in the water again would be amazing. 

 

I see all E-commerce stores are allowed to trade which makes sense, so I am really hoping they allow us better freedom of movement and the ability to get back into our rubber suits.
