After a long departure from our usual rides, when we enjoy socialising and interacting with friends, we are now hoping to get back to some sort of normal.  However, a few temporary changes.

Our suggested rides for July 7th are not the usual first Tuesday of the month ‘away’ rides  –  we meet in Balhannah Oval for the 9.30 am start and head to Cudlee Creek, where there is the option of a coffee break at your choice of venue.  There is still the obligation to keep the 1.5 metre social distancing.

HOPE TO SEE YOU

Many of our riders are very keen to ride in groups once again. Last Tuesday at least 20 riders turned up in Balhannah Oval and headed off in various directions to enjoy a social coffee break at a favourite venue.

This is the format for all of June.  With luck we can start the usual ‘organised’ rides again from July 7th.

There is also the opportunity to ride on Thursdays, with with the KEEP ON RIDING Group (similar to the Tuesday GREEN rides) or with the more challenging RED riders (an independent group).

ALL TUESDAY TREADLERS’ RIDES ARE SUSPENDED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE

IF YOU DECIDE TO CARRY ON RIDING EITHER ON YOUR OWN OR WITH A FRIEND PLEASE TAKE NOTICE OF THE NEW REGULATIONS / RECOMMENDATIONS

KEEP ACTIVE AND MAKE SURE YOUR BIKE IS READY FOR THE START OF OUR RIDES AGAIN  –  THERE WILL BE A LIGHT ON THE HORIZON

ORGANISED TUESDAY TREADLERS RIDES ARE SUSPENDED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE

if you do come up on Tuesdays for a small group ride, do not gather in Balhannah Oval if there are more than 10 of you, otherwise it has now become illegal if more than 10 of us are seen together, either in the Oval or elsewhere. An individual on-the-spot fine of $1,000 applies.

May be best to ride on your own.

TUESDAY TREADLERS RIDES ARE SUSPENDED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE

However, small group rides are still allowed for the time being , so a few of our riders still gather in Balhannah Oval on Tuesdays for a ride ***,   route/s decided on the day.   Most of our favourite coffee break locations are still able to supply take-away coffee, but remember we are not to remain in or immediately outside the cafe.

***    IT IS NOW ILLEGAL FOR MORE THAN 10 OF US TO BE SEEN TOGETHER IN BALHANNAH OVAL OR ANYWHERE ELSE.  INDIVIDUAL ON THE SPOT FINES OF $1,000 WILL APPLY.

Also remember, no groups of more than 10 riders and keep a physical distance of at least 1.5 meters from another rider. Best not to touch any other rider’s bike or cafe door handles and avoid public toilets. Wash or sanitise your hands as appropriate.

LET’S HOPE WE CAN GET BACK TO NORMAL SOON.

MAY SEE YOU NEXT TUESDAY
