Looks like I'll be doing some extra miles myself, just to stay sane - the roads should be nice and quiet so safer too.

Re: Corona Virus Lock Down 'Rant' Thread.

...as the report is a verbal description sent via wattsapp. Sorry John but I'm with Neal and wouldn't trust that as a source of valid information for a moment. So called 'social' media is awash with misinformation, stupidity and downright quackery. Now more than ever we need to rely on science-base...

Do it all the time out cycling but not having a basin handy the trick is to expel it cleanly under your armpit. Most cycling gloves come equipped with a 'towel' section around the thumb area - just in case...!

Re: General health matters.

My brothers and I have had my mum, in her mid-80s, isolated since last weekend but she's starting to get like a caged animal. I know one of my brothers is going to collect some shopping for her today and when I called her last evening and she harboured thoughts that 'perhaps I can go out and do the ...

Re: Corona Virus Lock Down 'Rant' Thread.

I've been out for a 30+ mile cycle ride this morning and it was really noticable how quiet the roads were compared to a normal Saturday.

No hang on, I'm down the pub but not talking to anyone.

That's the same thing yeah?
But nobody talks to you when you go to the pub anyway?

Re: Corona Virus Lock Down 'Rant' Thread.

Oh dear Steve. You're doing the right thing but keep well and stay in touch. Do you have support/assistance as, IIRC, Ant is in isolation too?
