Coronavirus lockdown and exercising outdoors

[Furbz]

These illiterate trump-muppets deserve a special mention.

Apparently riding as "7 pairs".

7 pairs of inconsiderate morons.

Kyalami Area

Time to charge the forgotten liggie so I can get some endurance back and keep the love handles at bay. 

Winter. Is. Coming.

bolted mine on this week - gotta make use of all 3 hours

leaving in the dark at 5 degrees really is not my idea of fun.

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.

There is a guy in the states that rebuilds 4x4 diffs and he works almost exclusively using couriers. The Diff is sent to him, he sorts it out and couriers it back. Should be able to do that with shocks

Sporting our new club mask this morning!

 

Couldn't find any matching socks though?

Or is that how roadies roll?

I think you will find this is pretty standard practice for the Stoke boys.... I know a lot of guys who send their stuff from up country for servicing at Stoke.

 

Skillz to pay the billz!

For sure. Sounds like you have the space to be able to be sensible. That said if it’s uncomfortable don’t do the exercise, find something else to do. I am sick and tired of the lame excuse if ‘it’s not legal’. That is just a ‘what’s in it for me’ attitude which isn’t exactly aiming to help people. I’ve ridden with the mask and yes it’s sucks but it’s not my god given right to go exercise happy and free. It’s exercise with in the requests or find a different method. I’ve found other walks to do that mean I am not being a dick about it and still get to stretch my legs. Honestly why when so many people are marking sacrifices what makes a certain few think they are better and more entitled than the rest. Why must they feel that their needs are so much more important?

 

There are no races. There will be no races for a long time. Most of the pro athletes I work with are focusing on making a difference in their community or just grateful to be out and about not whining about how uncomfortably it is. Try to think of those around you not just yourself because if you end up in ER then it’s those around you keeping you safe not you alone.

I won't get into a good old hub fight about this. Rather just agreee to disagree, I will keep cycling, I'll keep my buff around my neck and put it over my mouth and nose when I pass people. But I'm not gonna ride with a mask on the whole time. Wearing a mask while no one is around has zero impact other than making it impossible to breathe. Nothing about entitlement, nothing about being more important than anyone else.

 

Oh... and cycling is a right. We are privelaged to live in a country where it is a right.

 

I'm all for making sacrifice for the greater good in this time, but I am not gonna do things that have no impact or puspose such as wearing a mask in an open field where there is no one else in sight. Making a scarifice just for the sake of it is pointless.

 

And before you throw the ER/hospital argument my way, I am the last person that wants hospitals to be over run. I've got a pregnant wife working on the forntlines every day. I'm not going to be stupid about it and will take all precautions around other people.

Its a sweet buff, not sure who it’s made by . Think it’s from cape union mart . It has inner strings to hang around the ears so it doesn’t fall down,and with my jug handles they work a treat .

Get those at Cape Union, few others I guess, have one lying around somewhere, was great for when I was ridding into town.

 

ID die if I tried cycling in it though.

Greyton... I wouldn't mind a little MTB trip over there this weekend... Or anywhere really...

I'm not to bothered about the Olympics or Super Rugby or the EPL being cancelled, I can live without the TdF if I have to, but I'll be really miffed if the Greyton Pie Run does not happen...

I just think it's pretty miff that after 30 years Liverpool were cruising to their 1st league win and boom!

 

The rest I couldn't really care about, but that is just cruel!

[Let's Ride]

Fairly irritated. Some idiot ran past me without a mask on and coughed as I passed him.

 

Come on now.
