all non-contact sport will likely return before non-club group riding is supposed to happen.
Is group cycling prohibited by something separate to the rest of ‘non contract sport’?

From the government documents there's no indication is should be from what I can see. The problem is everyone is assuming that the government means individual cycling and group cycling has to follow the regulations set out by SC, but that's not stated anywhere. Arguably SC regulates club rides and racing, so it's possible the government thinks SC are regulating racing, not just general riding, or they do think everyone should follow SC guidance. I don't want to be one of those people who's trying to pick holes to allow me to do what I want, but it's all a bit confusing, especially as the SC regulations essentially says only paid up clubs can ride as groups for the foreseeable future.

Thanks, looks good. I'm down for the Torvelo Zwift APR at the weekend but might get outside instead as the weather looks ok again.
Based on the current SC rules and announcements it's looking like end of April for groups of 7 with a COVID co-ordinator involved (basically only BC registered clubs allowed to ride together...). This is where it all gets a bit difficult, because club group riding is permitted long before non-club group riding and all non-contact sport will likely return before non-club group riding is supposed to happen.
