If we're following our "glorious" leader's example, travelling no more than 7 miles from home....a circular route allows 58 miles of riding :ugeek: .

Could be worse... :wink:

A friend has been travelling to HK for work and their 14 day quarantine from arrival is "enforced" by a geo fence and GPS tracker, iirc.

Very clever idea of Pete's :-bd . But yep, as Pete says, got to get yourself to the circumference and back :smile: .

I'm working on a modified version which involves less mileage but is equally bonkers :wink: .Just spent two hours making some calculations but I think I've got something....

I got 75 in real terms (after accounting for the ride out and back and the undulations of the roads/connections)...

Nope, I've lived with Dee long enough to know, it's always my fault ... whatever it is.
