For info'.
I'm monitoring the virus situation very closely and if it worsens, which it probably will, then in the interests of social responsibility I may have to call this ride off - I won't have you, me or SWB labelled amongst the irresponsible and selfish crowds that thronged public spaces recently. Not to put too fine a point on it, this is a national emergency and if we have to help each other by staying away from each other, then that's what we do, no question.
So, keep checking back here regularly. And meanwhile stay healthy.

Wise words dude. Despite wanting to get out and even if we haven't been banned from riding by Boris I think it would be wise to postpone it.
As much as I enjoyed my ride yesterday I kept getting the feeling I was being judged and if that reflects badly on motorcyclists as a whole I think it would make sense to stay at home.
Spend the time tinkering with your bike or doing those jobs you haven't got round to.

I too took a short (but in my case solo) run yesterday, and although I felt o.k. about that - not stopping anywhere - like you I knew that I'd have felt a lot less than comfortable if I'd been part of a group - and for the same reasons as you.

So yes, it's looking more and more like a 'Sarnies and a Flask run' postponement is inevitable. I'll leave the final call for a few more days yet though.
