Coronavirus lockdown and exercising outdoors

But there is bad news for the guys now chomping at the bit to buy a Smart Trainer. There is almost none available in SA, and the transport ship that was on its way with the next consignment, had to turn back to port after a fire in the engine room. No news as to when another ship will collect the consignment.

Damn it was cold on the east rand this morning

starting to pick up frost this side in the lower areas.

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

 

If I were faced with a choice like that I'd do the same. Maybe get caught vs definitely go bankrupt - easy. 

 

Fortunately I had the option of waiting, and will be trading by email and courier from Monday. Thanks Mr Patel for finally seeing the light...

 

And since this thread is actually meant to be about exercise, I'll be hitting a celebratory ride tomorrow.

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.

How selfish you want to surf whilst thousands are dying from covid. Don’t you care about saving lives. What happens if you have a wipeout then a life guard needs to give you mouth to mouth. He goes home and infects his family. They all die cause you want a paddle. You should be ashamed.

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.

Or mark it as private.

Or mark it as private.

And for the real extroverts ... you CAN set it to private, and only allow both of your friends to follow your rides ....

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.

Haha! My legs seem to be okay, I ride with baggies and my match sticks seem happy for now.

Temperature here in Modderfontein was low of 2' with average of 4'.

 

Still confused at number of cyclists without masks and lights .

Meh... for the first time this week I woke up early... 5am breakfast, I though "let's get this 100km attempt done today !"

 

As I was doing my final checks on the bike I realised it was raining outside.... ended up doing Alpe du Zwift instead
