Coronavirus

At very short notice, on the evening before the event, the NM's riding group of six increased to seven. Likewise, it was unknown until the day of the race whether or not an eighth member would be joining us for an hour at lunchtime, not riding with us.

On Friday & Saturday evenings (12), two members headed out for a meal elsewhere. By default, the remaining 10 were generally split up between the smokers & non-smokers, social distancing was well maintained.

For the Saturday ride out, the 12 were split into two groups of six. The groups rode in opposite directions and did not meet up during the day.

It is now 9 days since returning home from Peterborough. I trust that non of the attendees have shown any Covid symptoms which could have been attributed to the RT meet.

At the end of the day, an event took place whilst best trying to comply with the guidelines for the benefit of all concerned. Perhaps the best thing I could have done is not attend myself.

Hello there - I do's see you have done anything wrong here .
Everyone - everyone - should think themselves - and do after that - It's about riding - speeding - living etc etc
You have made a trip for everyone - but that is not the same as you should think for everyone !!
I have organised so many tours myself up through the years - and this is what I have been thinking and sayed to everyone in the groupe .
Good job done - be happy :-)

David, I agree with what has already been said. Everybody that attended is an adult and made their own decision regarding the potential (small) risks of meeting up and how the guidelines were being followed.  It's sounds like you are giving yourself too hard a time over this.

One suggestion which only filtered through to me after the weekend was that we should have all ridden together as a group of 12 on the Saturday.

I feel absolutely fine since getting back, a bit of a sore throat, dry cough and a temperature, but I'm not letting it get in the way of me enjoying life.

I'm not showing any symptoms myself, another 5 days of self-isolation, then should be good to go out again.

Thanks for that. Track and trace have been in contact. Peterborough's now in lockdown, the Premier Inn has been burnt to the ground by enraged locals (OAPs that frequented the local garden centre but nasty buggers if you cross them).

Your "self isolation" seems to be very flexible? You led a trio of IAM bods on a 150 mile ride on your 650 at the weekend according to your post in the "what did you do today" thread.

They should have torched the garden centre instead, the eggs on the gardeners breakfast were absolutely horrific! And the social distancing path to get out of the place was about 4 miles long they did have a nice selection of pelargonium's though

Covid-19 & Spain    I'm booked on a Brittany Ferries crossing on the 25th of August with a return crossing on the 3rd of September. I've got three nights booked in Potes to explore the Picos then I'm off for a night in Ainsa before spending a few days exploring the Pyrenees. Any recommendations on places to stay in or around the Pyrenees? I'd like to stay in Spain for the duration of the trip, although I don't mind nipping over the border into France here and there whist out riding.. Upon my return in the UK on Friday I'll book a covid test for the Saturday which will hopefully be "negative" for a return to work on the Tuesday. Again,any recommendations for for hotels /towns to stay in?


Ps.I'll have a Covid-19 test before leaving work and travelling.

San Sebastián was a great town to visit along that top coast towards France and with easy reach of the ferry ports ... but can’t remember the hotel
