  • I'm eight months into my 3rd RRtY but the way AUK is interpreting the latest Covid guidelines means any future 200s (for the moment, anyway) I do have to stay within London. I've seen chat of the London Spiral ride in the cycling in corona times thread, and I have a couple of pals who did a London boroughs 200 on new years day, but fuck me, their report of it sounded grim.

    Nevermind, eh.

  • 3rd RRtY

    Why? :)

  • Could you not amend your RRTY entry so it starts and finishes in a tier 4 area such as Kent? Would adding the bit from getting to and back from that different area add a big amount on to your ride?

  • I was one who opted for the Spiral Ride last month and it wasn't too bad when I did it. Got a bit grim around the East London portion, especially around Barking and Dagenham, but I was going through there around midday on Christmas Eve so possibly extra traffic with people shopping or something not sure. Looking like there's going to be a few more imaginative London rides for the next couple of months at this rate too.

    Yeah... interesting interpretation. This is their Tier 4 guidance which you will have seen but I'm sharing for the benefit of others:

    Tier 4: 2 riders per event route per day. Maximum distance 200km. The whole route must be contained within the original Tier 4 area. (Note: as per published Government guidance, the 32 London Boroughs and the City of London comprise one area for tiering purposes and the same will apply to the Tier 4 area of Essex and the Tier 4 area of Surrey).

    Not sure I agree with their interpretation, which nobody else seems to be using. If my club used their interpretation it would mean our members couldn't ride into Essex, which is 7 miles away.

    Which would be a bit daft for a road club.
