A third of the the population has put put on half a stone each during lockdown.
Wow. But feel better that it's not just me!
The other 2/3rds have lost it...
Seriously... there was nothing in the regulations that prevented from doing weight loss activities, but a lot that prevented weight gain activities, with bars, pubs, cafes and restaurants closed...
Yep, the whole not living out of hotels and restaurants thing, plus being able to ride my bike more has given me a 5% weight drop since March.
The board is right to take a cautious approach to defining the future direction of AUK. This will be a time of massive change, events will be fundamentally different for the foreseeable future if, indeed, they are viable.
DIY and perms may well be possible sooner of course, but AUK needs to be ready for, potentially, 2 seasons with no significant events and having the capacity (sorry to sound like Hancock) for a potentially large increase in DIY submissions.
My suspicion is that any event with sleeping accommodation will have to be fundamentally changed, and may well be unviable or the preserve of the wealthiest riders (if the BCM (for example) could only accommodate say 50 riders at Kings, entry costs may have to go up considerably)(either because of the limited capacity or the requirement to have two sleep facilities hired).
It will be a challenging time for us all.
