23/03/21:  CyclingUK Group Riding Update:  England and Scotland
The government’s roadmap out of lockdown document sets out
proposed relaxations to restrictions in England on or after 29 March.
These include allowing groups of up to six people, or two households,
to meet outdoors.
The roadmap also indicates (para 102) that organised sports can
restart, which will not be subject to the rule of six gathering limit,
but should be compliant with guidance issued by national governing
bodies. Sport England has subsequently published guidance
confirming that organised sport and activity includes group cycle
rides, so group rides of more than six are allowed from 29 March
onwards under the organised sport and activity exemption.
Cycling UK’s general advice to clubs pre-Covid was to restrict group
rides to a maximum of 15 people, however currently we are advising
that this should be treated as an absolute maximum for group rides,
not a target number, and that people should exercise some
discretion and common sense depending on where they are riding.

N.B. Cafes remain closed except for takeaway food and drink. We believe “takeway” means just that and cannot be consumed indoors or outdoors on the providers premises.
