Europe » England: White Dalton advice re. riding in November

Mrs Bravo and I were out and about enjoying the autumn sun today.

Off to Barnard Castle tomorrow, just checking my suspension (more important than my eyesight).

"So in short, under lockdown rules you can ride alone or with one other person. Be careful as to gathering outside cafés. Otherwise, you are free to ride and I certainly will continue riding both for work and for fun during the November 2020 lockdown"

I usually only ever use a top box (ugly things) when touring but a circuitous trip to the shop for essentials today necessitated the box. It felt so good to ride on a sunny day with dry(ish) roads - definitely good for my mental health.

Will keep the White Dalton article on my phone, its totally understandable that the constabulary might have a different interpretation of the law. I think the top box will remain on with a shopping bag and shopping list of essentials - just in case!

I put in 40 plus miles today around the more scenic parts of Wigan, Chorley and Rivington late morning and ended up at Sainsbury's on the way back where I brimmed the top box.

My expectation is that if I stay fairly local I should have no problems.

Of course if I were to head up the M6 to say Penrith or down to Cheltenham I would struggle to argue that was for recreation.

I’m finished.

Roll on 2021
