Patchelicious Posted August 16, 2020 Posted August 16, 2020 IF, I personally still think it will happen. If people have been buying booze and cigarettes for 3 months I am sure people will find a loop whole to pedal bikes in small groups of 12.I miss the DC
TNT1 Posted August 17, 2020 Posted August 17, 2020 I saw Jakaranda cycling club has already organised a "spontaneous group ride" for the first weekend in September. Let's see if it flies.Speaking of which, I was thinking yesterday of arranging an unofficial East Rand Hub Spring Day ride.

NotSoBigBen Posted August 18, 2020 Posted August 18, 2020 So group rides should not be more than 50 now?So less than they have been the last few weeks [emoji12]
TyronLab Posted August 18, 2020 Posted August 18, 2020 Can't seem to find any info about the exercising time restrictions. Anyone manage to see something? My assumption is its the same as the general curfew now. Not that it matters that much, not keen on riding in a group or solo due to two different risks so I'm sticking to trails for now.
ChrisF Posted August 18, 2020 Posted August 18, 2020 Wonder if Gyms will be able to APPLY the rules ..... Each time you put down weights you must first take it to staff to clean it .... EVERYBODY in the gym to wear a mask, even while training .... actually feel sorry for the gym owners .... absolutely no way you can show a profit so few people allowed into the gym.
Duane_Bosch Posted August 18, 2020 Posted August 18, 2020 actually feel sorry for the gym owners .... absolutely no way you can show a profit so few people allowed into the gym. My local Gym (not virgin) that I go to is looking to open in 6 weeks time. I wonder if they think it's going to drop to L1 in 6 weeks? They've taken the opportunity to remodel during this time.

Duane_Bosch Posted August 18, 2020 Posted August 18, 2020 all those new years resolutions that dont make it past march coupled with those 2 year contracts....January 19th is the date when most new years resolutions grind to a halt.

That, and the Vitality crowd (and other rewards programs) At the best of times the Vitality crowd is moaning about not getting their points .... going to get interesting when they cant get their points because they could not get a booking to be one of the 50 allowed in ..... slightly off topic .... sports stores have done a BOOMING trade in various fitness equipment. LOTS of home gyms were set up .... wonder how many of the serious athletes are lining up to go back to a gym. Disclaimer - in the 90's I did the gym thing for a few years. Twice unsucessfully, then got a good rythm for a few years. My work hours changed, and the even rush hour at the gym did not work for me .... know the vibe, but moved on ....
MORNE Posted August 18, 2020 Posted August 18, 2020 January 19th is the date when most new years resolutions grind to a halt.Especially if new years resolutions were paired with splashing out big on bling kit "because it will motivate us" haha

PS: I dont go to gyms lol. gross.
