You are of course welcome along to any Southwestbikers rideout, however your bike must be in good mechanical order (we don’t want anything falling off of it including you), taxed and have a current MOT. You must have a valid motorcycle licence and current motor insurance. You are in charge of your motorcycle at all times and SWB will not accept any responsibility for actions you take or any accidents you may have. Always ride within your own capabilities and do not put others at risk. Remember, while you are on a Southwestbikers rideout you are representing the site and what it stands for.
Thank-you.
Don't forget......ANYONE can organise and run a rideout.

The Coalition of Motorcycling Organisations (COMO) has examined legislation and guidance for the new lockdown in England. If you are not required to self-isolate, the rules do permit riding alone or with one other individual. You are still subject to the social distancing rules and other measures.

Have you noticed that anyone going slower than you is an idiot, and anyone going faster is a maniac ?

Re: Good(ish) News
The important point being that motorcycling per se can be classed as 'recreation'.
Recreation (per White Dalton (motorcycle solicitors)) does not need to be exercise. Motorcyling is certainly 'recreation'. Ergo the above interpretation.

It is also documented that this interpretation may well be over the head of plod-on-the-street.
Be prepared for possible confrontation.

If, repeat IF I decide to get a solo bike ride in before December 2nd, I'm printing off the relevant piece from Daltons' blurb, plus the bullet points from the the .gov website and carrying it with me.

Re: Good(ish) News
You might have found a get out clause but is it the right thing to do?
Is riding your bike more important than the greater good?

Re: Good(ish) News
Personally being in my own hazmat suit if I want to go out for a ride by myself I might consider it. But with the weather getting colder and wetter I am not going to be trying to dive out the door any time soon and certainly not looking at any group riding.
