2023 Subscriptions EricL Posted December 1, 2020 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted December 1, 2020 Important Within the last hour I have received the following update on travel, i.e. ride, restrictions from Scottish Cycling and SportScotland, the same is posted by Scottish Cycling on their Facebook page. The guidance on travel has now passed into law and will have a significant impact on many potential club rides at all levels. The legislation on travel restrictions also applies to informal social rides (non-club activity) of up to two households. Group sizes remain as before i.e. up to seven on a club organised bunch ride. With thanks, Eric Dear Covid-19 Coordinator, I hope that this email finds you well. I have less positive news today I am afraid. Following the introduction and subsequent passage of the legislation on Travel in the Scottish Parliament, sportscotland has now provided an update to all SGBs on what this legislation means for sport. In essence: For Adults, living in Level 3 or 4 areas, you cannot travel outside of your Local Authority area for club activity. This includes club rides, which must stay within the boundary of the LA. For Children and Young People (U18) at Level 4 areas, you cannot travel outside of your Local Authority area for club activity. The 5 mile rule only now applies to recreational/informal activity which must adhere to the 6 from 2 households rule. Coaches/MTB/Ride Leaders continue to remain exempt from the travel legislation and can move freely across all levels. Full Protection Levels Framework document including these updates can be found here. martin, George and stuart10ant 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions George Posted December 1, 2020 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted December 1, 2020 Thanks, Eric. I hope the fact they will now be breaking the law resonates with those who until now have chosen not to comply with a reasonable request to tweak their cycling activities. martin and XXX 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
