Lack of sleep, poor diet and getting cold/wet may be factors in disease susceptability
So as long as your audax doesnt involves those factors then the exercise is beneficial.

Though all of this misses the point that it's everyone's responsibility to slow down and minimise the peak. If workplaces are closed, schools are closed, etc, then I can't see how running popular Audax events visiting cafes, village halls etc is appropriate.

As a member of an at-risk group, it hasn't put me off cycling (which is generally beneficial to my lung health). But avoiding public transport to organised events may become prudent.

Note sure this topic really needed to be put in there arguably, but there it is.

I agree with Simon. If you work on the assumption that at least one person turning up will be a carrier, whether they know it yet or not, I find it hard to see how you can go ahead with any large social gathering. Unless your goal is to thin the herd of old duffers.
Ride yo bike on yo own.
(I'd say cancel any indoor hospitality, but that just moves the problem outside...)
