When meeting in the Swan Pool carpark, and whilst attending Cafe's...you must adhere to the rule of 6, wear a mask, and maintain 2 MTR distance from each rider in your group of 6.
It is only whilst riding under mitigation, that up to 15 people can group at 1 MTR distance.
We do not have long to wait before the rules are relaxed further, so for now PLEASE abide by the current ruling, to avoid bringing the Club into disrepute.
British Cycling announcement... From March 29th, British Cycling affiliated Club and recreation programme rides (HSBC UK Breeze, Guided Rides and Ride Social) will be able to take place in groups of up to 15.
These rides will be subject to a series of Covid mitigation measures, including: test and trace protocols, one metre social distancing while riding, two metre social distancing while not riding, and guidance covering hygiene, equipment sharing and self-sufficiency. More details on this can be found in The Way Forward.
Clubs and groups which do not feel confident or comfortable riding in groups of 15 at this stage are permitted and encouraged to set a lower limit which is appropriate for their own circumstances. 15 is a limit, not a target.
While we know that group riding presents a very low risk of transmission (due to it taking place outdoors, with very limited face-to-face contact), we must remain mindful of the wider public’s understandable concerns around Covid-19 and ensure that all clubs and groups respect and adhere to the relevant Covid-secure guidance for safe delivery.
