I enjoyed watching Milan-San Remo yesterday, all 305 kms of it, 150 riding together with inches separating them, thousands of spectators watching on at the roadside, where's my Audax ?
Have both randoneuring and audax restarted in Italy? Suppose you could go there and work to their rules.
AUK has restarted audax, with their interpretation of what can be done under the 4 sets of UK laws and British cycling guidance.
It's just rather blunt.
I saw someone having a grumble about the format of the triathlon mentioned earlier.
It's a bit like the CTT rules, except people are starting in small groups rather than solo.
Based on the FM hitting back at the rags talking about phase 4 with "were a long way from phase 4", recent climbing infection rates particularly with the "interesting" Aberdeen outbreak. I don't think restrictions on gatherings are going to be lifted anytime soon. So Well be stick with Auks interpretation of how to restart within the restrictions and implementation of them well into next year...
It's basically a choice between shit or not taking part at all.
I call the Aberdeen cluster interesting because in some ways it's been Incredibly lucky.
It was first identified due to the offshore industry's pre-flight test and isolate system.
If that hadn't caught it then the routine sports bubble testing the Aberdeen players who breeched both government guidelines and the further restrictions imposed on them would have identified it (2 out of 8 positive so far).
The only other people receiving routine testing are selected health and social care staff who for reasons (not of enforcement) are less likely to be out on the piss right now.
That means it's been caught within a week of the superspreading event.
It's also interesting because:
- Being the 3rd football outbreak in Scotland it's also the first where clear breech of both government and SFA guidelines have occurred and the political and clinical leads have gone apoplectic on them, and has included phoning club chairmen and captains, telling the sfa/spfl that they cannot put on a match (realistically it'll be Aberdeen next 3 matches) and essentially warning them that if it happens again that their agreement on restarting will be cancelled.
- The 5 mìle travel limit has no exemption like it did previously that allows you to exceed 5 miles while exercising.
- That venues where people have visited will be named (and shamed) before they receive contact from the gov.
