June 2021 update

It's been a while since our previous blog post, so I thought this would be a good time for an update.

Until recently, we had been hoping that we could resume our rides - albeit on a limited basis - in July or August. As you probably know, Edinburgh was expected to move to Level 0 this month, which would have allowed up to 15 of us to meet for a ride. But that didn't happen.

Right now, we are still in Level 2, which only allows eight people to meet out of doors. Given that our rides typically attract 20 to 30 riders, and that we have 140 names on our mailing list, it would clearly not be feasible to organise a ride on that basis. Nor is there any indication of when we might move down to a lower level. For that reason, I'm afraid I can't hold out much hope of getting back to normal in the next month or so.

I know that some of you are getting together for informal rides in small groups, in line with the regulations. That's good to know.

Be assured that we are watching the situation, and that we will resume our rides as soon as we can safely and legally do so.
