Someone, I forget who, said on the other thread something like that it might be good to turn this question on it’s head: spend less time looking for gaps in the rules and ways to evade being found out, and ask instead whether your exercise could be nearer to home, shorter duration and involve meeting fewer people while still maintaining fitness. I thought that was a helpful comment.
In my view, now probably isn’t the time to be building the kms, and it isn’t forever. I’m hoping to get away from home later this year and that feels more plausible if we don’t fuck this up any more now.
I’m not going to put numbers to that, but I don’t think that the spirit of caring for those around me and staying local involves me riding into the next town. Mostly I’m running, which naturally keeps me more local.
On the other hand, bear in mind that needing help far from home, having to check in at a cafe or posting public strava traces might all incriminate. It isn’t just police in beauty spot car parks that need could lead to a fine.
