Strange times. I’m going to be writing something later on what we’re doing and going to be doing here at road.cc to adjust to the new reality, but what about you?

How does cycling fit in to your life at the moment?
Be really good to hear and share your experiences on of the current situation – and not just of the cycling variety. It’s good to talk at times like these.

Are you having to get used to working from home?
Are you working on the frontline – and that covers a lot of people, including quite a few on bikes – if you’re a courier or food delivery rider (the latter being hailed as heroes in Italy)?
Or maybe you’re already staring down the barrel of an economically uncertain future?

As I said, it’s good to talk and hopefully we might even be able to cheer each other up a bit

Funnily enough my wife rode

Funnily enough my wife rode to work along the Two Tunnels bike path yesterday – roads were empty, bike path was rammed: joggers, cyclists, dog walkers, mum’s with buggies. There’s always people on it, but not usually that many. She got off and walked in the end.

Richmond Park was pretty busy

Richmond Park was pretty busy this morning – I suspect that the WFH crowd have taken to sneaky ride-outs….Or is that just me.   Not very much traffic on the road.  Seemed like a Sunday…

still planning to do solo

still planning to do solo rides outdoors, until someone actually stops me. self isolating, low-risk, healthy activity.

some of my non-cycling mates are going on at me about how it’s irresponsible and selfish, in case i come a cropper and need hospital treatment. then in the very next sentence they crack on about how they’re using the time to get some DIY done, which accounts for 200,000 hopsital visits every year.

Working from home at the mo

Working from home at the mo and stretching out my lunch breaks into ‘micro reverse triathlon’ sessions: 

Run (to garage) – 30 secs 
Ride (Zwift) – 50mins
Swim (Shower) – 5mins

Seems to work for me, and the lack of needing to go anywhere or negotiate actual corners on the bike means that, unlike actual triathletes, I won’t fall off and put any extra strain on the NHS. 😉
