ChrisF Posted May 1, 2020 Posted May 1, 2020 I used a buff for this morning's ride. Turns out I pulled it even higher half way through the ride ... encountered a bit of mist and a lekka cool section mid ride ! Felt "strange" during the first climb. And then it was fine .... Enough others begging for this exercise opportunity to be stopped .... I wont be part of them ! Really not an issue to ride with a buff.
Frosty Posted May 1, 2020 Posted May 1, 2020 One thing that has been frustrating, is having to remember my passwords. The facial recognition on iOS requires removing the mask for it to work. Pulling the mask/buff down defeats the purpose of not touching my face.
Eddy Gordo Posted May 1, 2020 Posted May 1, 2020 I saw am this post, summing up why we should wear a mask: Awesome analogy, gonna get them to put that up in the shop

Wayne pudding Mol Posted May 1, 2020 Posted May 1, 2020 I wore a buff but on the last hill breathing in my in my own sweat was a bit tough - I’m a sweaty bastard Beats not riding and many sections around here where there are no other peeps and I can just pull it down
SteveFW Posted May 1, 2020 Posted May 1, 2020 I wore a buff but on the last hill breathing in my in my own sweat was a bit tough - I’m a sweaty bastardBeats not riding and many sections around here where there are no other peeps and I can just pull it downI had exactly the same experience, 10 minutes in and it felt like I was being water-boarded, that sweaty buff sealed up properly. Will have to test the buff handicap vs free breathing when this is all done. I know that there are restrictive training masks which are supposed to optimise breathing/ simulate high altitude but the data seems a bit inconclusive.
SuperDS Posted May 2, 2020 Posted May 2, 2020 Here's my thoughts, You can still breathe when wearing a mask / buff so best to wear one to reduce excuses to ban exercise. If it gets difficult either 1. Reduce intensity 2. Suck it up it'll make your lungs stronger 3. Put the buf down and then pull it up again if you see any policeSo those are the only reasons you feel it is necessary to wear a mask?
Mojoman Posted May 2, 2020 Posted May 2, 2020 Ironic...the 10 or so kids that muck about in my street kicking cans about don't wear masks....Why should we bother?If I see the pigs around I will pull it over my nose etc...otherwise no chance...

scubes Posted May 2, 2020 Posted May 2, 2020 On my ride this morn 630am I had my usual buff under helmet which I always have on (keeps sun off in summer & warm in winter). I could breathe mostly. When I couldn't breathe- I lowered it below my nose or mouth for a while with no one else around me ,or going uphill. I don't mind the buff much when its cold, keeps me warm at least. Did notice many riders and joggers with masks or buffs- and many walkers with no masks...Also many ppl walking the streets, ... with no masks......
Mojoman Posted May 2, 2020 Posted May 2, 2020 And people still ask why we need rules to govern our every move ....Sheep...baaaaaa!
tinmug Posted May 2, 2020 Posted May 2, 2020 South Africans are a bunch of a-holes. A minority wearing masks today, far less so than yesterday. I can only hope people get arrested long before DZ pulls the plug on outdoor exercise.

Because you may have COVID-19 and not know it. The point of you wearing a mask is – largely – to protect others. Plus you are compromising our temporary right to exercise outdoors. Don't be selfish.

I can only hope people get arrested long before DZ pulls the plug on outdoor exercise. 'Compulsory' wearing of masks are not going to make any difference in South Africa... Do you think the poorer communities are going to be wasting R30+ on a mask? Or will they just reuse old masks....swop masks amongst themselves. Are they going to wash it after every use and leave it in the sun? There are people all over in town this morning...its month end and hardly anyone has a mask on and not a single piglet in sight.... People are deluded....!

Come and visit my street...no one gives a toss about social distancing and masks etc..Wear a mask/Don't wear a mask...Personally I can't see this nonsense making one iota of difference to us...Anyway...we have 116 dead...that's two days worth of murders in RSA.. I've lost interest in worrying about CV19... Yes, I'm having a s%^t morning!

Some okes standing outside waiting for someone with a mask to come out and then borrow it to go in. The mask wearing is a waist of time, but if you say it here, you will get burned .
