Re: Guesses on when we'll be able to ride next?
Reckon it'll be June... Though will need an essential trip to the supermarket. Maybe Tesco in Barnstaple might be deemed irresponsible as I live in Exeter... Especially as I normally shop in Lidls about a mile down the road

Don't care who you are, how much you have, how powerful you are. You still sit on the toilet with your pants around your ankles. Yep, it's a level playing field..
Re: Guesses on when we'll be able to ride next?
Nope I think it'll be late July early August the worst is yet to come,especially as people just don't seem to have any common sense at all,I had to go to the supermarket today, people respecting the 2 metre rule outside,once inside it was madness

Re: Guesses on when we'll be able to ride next?
The 'getting worse before it gets better' bit is unfortunately, a certainty. My best guesstimate is somewhere around the original Wales Weekend date of the 19th, 20th, 21st of June.
If/when we're allowed out to play again, and if there's nothing organised SWB-wise, I'm deffo making it my mission to ride out and call in to as many bike-friendly stops that survive this situation as I can. They're gonna need any help they can get.

Re: Guesses on when we'll be able to ride next?
Maybe someone will make filters for bike helmets and over gloves so we're allowed out...

I don't think our hobby will be classed as safe and essential for quite a while. The last thing they want is for the numbers to decline and then everybody goes berserk getting out of confinement and it all starts up again.
I gloomily predict it'll be July before the KTM turns a wheel in anger. I do hope I'm wrong though.
Think the eMTB will have higher miles on it by the time we're allowed out on petrol powered machines
