Is the bit top left that says 'Bikes 2016' last time you went out Notty?

Well BoJo has eased the lockdown in England and we are allowed out for a ride from Wednesday, was going to go into Wales but they are still on lockdown so I don't want to get arrested on the first day.  !400 hasn't been out for a while, I used the MZ to my shopping over the last couple of months so looking forward to Wednesday.

When in Wales do as the Welsh do.
When in Scotland do as the Scottish do.
When in Northern Ireland do as the Northern Irish do.
When in England don't travel to any of the above and save Celtic lives

We have been set free from Thursday. Looking forward to hopping on the bike and going to see my dad

One of many articles on the web seeing the same thing from the figures that I do, plus thinking our chief medical officer is a panicking worrywort.

Notty and Froudy, how will you cope, I don't want you boys to get too excited now as your lockdown has been lifted you can travel a full five, yes 5 miles from home.  Where will you go, will your engine even get warm, it will take longer to get dressed than it will to ride the bike.  Enjoy you new freedon

Sure there must be a roundabout within the 5 mile radius

Radius of 5 Miles gives a 31 mile circumference !! Actually apart from South Wales we area very rural country so a 5 mile radius means you won't even reach civilisation !! I plan to go out Monday evening and do the 31 miles

Steady on Notty, 31 miles !!  You'll need a cup of tea and a lay down after that marathon.

Yet more official figures showing this claimed 'plague' isn't nearly as bad as the experts said -

These are figures for Rotherham UK.

As of 8am this morning (Monday 1 June), there were 38 inpatients who have tested positive for Covid-19, of which 5 are in Critical Care. There were 38 inpatients waiting for their results.

This brings our total number of positive inpatients we have cared for to 514.

In total, 307 have been discharged and sadly 161 have now died.

There are currently 219 members of staff absent for Covid-related reasons.

The population covered is about 252,000. Which gives infection and death rates of about bugger all for the population as a whole.
