We didn’t quite make the full coast last week so I’m proposing we try again this Sunday in better weather. 9.30 at the club, usual route.

From what I can decipher, outdoor non contact sports are still ok, so.....there is a run leaving Houston roundabout 9.30am Saturday round coast to W Kilbride, company welcome, I will take names for track and trace register. Decent tempo, short stop at Largs toilets
Post up if you plan to join.
 

Thanks Eric. Apologies it occurred on a messenger thread where someone posted that there had been updated restrictions. I’ve posted this as a JWCC run and will keep track and trace for you.

For those not on club WhatsApp we are headed to Aberfoyle via Croftamie. Meet at Erskine Bridge 09:30hrs.
bring your mask and stay away if you have symptoms 

New message from Scottish Cycling 😷   We have now had it confirmed from sportscotland that as a result of yesterdays announcements, there is NO impact on organised sport.   The importance of organised sport complying with the SGB guidance has been reinforced, particularly with the regards to the following:   Encouraging all club members to download the Protect Scotland app - www.protect.scot Ensure that all clubs have in place at least one Covid-19 Coordinator, a Risk Assessment is in place, and a record of all attendees is kept for at least 21 days after an activity has taken place. Wider societal rules apply outside of the organised activity. Please continue to reinforce to club members the importance of adhering to this, considering the image that we portray if large groups are seen without physical distancing before and after activities
Please encourage all club members to ensure they have knowledge of what the guidance is, and ensure that they know who their club Covid-19 Coordinator is for the purposes of Test & Protect.
JWCC - Covid19 
I'd like to believe that most of you have read my previous Covid19 Updates and know what is expected from each of us, when JWCC is out on the road, pretty well by now.
Below is the link to our most up to date Scottish Cycling (SC) guidance, which hasn't changed recently, and would encourage every rider to take a little time to read through this so we can all understand what our personal responsibilities are when riding, congregating, and at café stops. Please plan accordingly for before, during and after each group ride. 
My thanks go to each of the volunteer bunch ride co-ordinators to date for their part in taking the Test & Protect rider contact details for the club register and promptly sending these on to me. 
As a reminder, any member intending to organise a JWCC bunch ride then please make sure you have fully read and understood the latest SC guidance document, confirm with all participants of their need to comply with the general societal rules, and forward the rider contact details, time of ride and any café stop locations  to me as soon as possible following completion of the ride. Ideally this will happen automatically and I won't have to chase folk up for these lists. Activities, bunch rides and gatherings posted in the name of JWCC on The Forum, club Facebook page and JWCC WhatsApp will qualify for the need to report. Details of all member riders and any guests are to be included - no exceptions.
Finally, If you are unsure of any aspect of the Covid guidance then please do ask for clarification rather than 'winging it'..... it is up to all of us to get this right! (and remember - no house parties! 😟)

Goodness knows where this misinformation came from!
The Covid19 Update I published on The Forum (for all to read and take personal responsibility for) is clear that there is currently NO CHANGE to the Scottish Cycling (Scottish Government) guidance and rules on bunch rides, provided they are properly adhered to we will have no issues.
There has been some nonsense written on certain WhatsApp groups today, please ignore this.
In brief, as things stand, a bunch ride could consist of up to 30 riders. Sensible, low risk riding is generally encouraged, to minimise the likelihood of crashes and so protect NHS resources. Normal social distancing, hand hygiene and self sufficiency i.e. no sharing of food, bike tools and spares. On stopping, before, during and after the ride societal rules apply - face masks on entering premises, 6 persons/2 household rule (i.e. enter and sit in cafes in pairs), abide by and respect requests by local retailers.
At least one sensible person per bunch to remind others of these basic requirements and to take names and contact details for the club register for NHS Test & Protect. Ideally this individual will let me know in advance that they will undertake this, probably the ride organiser. Send your list on to me as soon as possible on completion of the activity.
All activities posted on The JWCC Forum, JWCC WhatsApp, JWCC FBook etc will qualify as club organised rides and ARE reportable - no exceptions. 
All riders involved, be they club members or 'guests' to be included (Coronavirus does not discriminate) - no exceptions. 
No doubt there will be changes to the guidance over time and I will provide any updates as they arise. 
Please make all our lives easier!
With thanks,

Cracking advert from the Italian TV channel Rai for the upcoming Giro
 

Following the guidance update from the Scottish Government yesterday (10/09/2020), Scottish Cycling has confirmed the latest position regarding cycling activity and all of our individual responsibilities before, during and after each activity. 
 
The updated route-map clearly states - the changes to meeting socially do not apply to services or activities that are already exempt from these restrictions and have been permitted to open subject to their own guidance such as organised sport.   Scottish Cycling has had this confirmed this morning by sportscotland, so clubs can continue to run their activities in line with the previous guidance published on the 24th August.    The key points now which will be reinforced are:  The wider societal rules apply before and after club activity. Clubs must reinforce to members that this means a maximum of 6 people from 2 households, indoors and outdoors. This also applies to cafe stops, so please consider this when planning club activities.  It is more important than ever that sport demonstrates to the Scottish Government that we are committed to running our activities within the agreed guidance. At present, this means: All clubs should have appointed a Covid-19 Coordinator  This Covid-19 Coordinator should be known to Scottish Cycling  The Covid-19 Coordinator should have completed the mandatory sportscotland e-learning  and evidenced completion of this  The club should have risk assessed its activities and made members aware of any mitigating measures in place  Scottish Cycling has emphasised to sportscotland that this exemption to organised sport needs to be more clearly communicated by Government, to ensure that clubs are not confronted by members of the public, who may rightly think, that we are not complying with the government guidance.

Hi Iain, weather turned out well for you, looked like a good brisk ride.
I read above that George didn't join the bunch but asked for someone to stand in as the Wheelers ride coordinator, primarily to take the track & trace register and maintain Covid protocols, who was this as I've not received a list of attendees and contact details yet?
Looking at Strava numbers it was probably the largest bunch out in a long time, a good mix of Wheelers and guests - for the purposes of Covid track & trace that doesn't matter its the details of everyone involved is all I need.    
Cheers,
Eric
