Wee cycling trips in the wee county

 Covid 19 is still impacting on all our lives. Due to the increase in infections a 6 week lockdown (Level 5 up from Level 3) was imposed by the Government on the 22nd October 2020. This lockdown limited among other things travel to within 5km of home. This has severely curtailed almost all outdoor activities including cycling. Trying to keep up my level of fitness is difficult with these restrictions, however, I do get limited cycling both on indoor trainer (boring) and within the 5km  of home. Here are a few photos from my recent travels around Dundalk.

Covid 19 Coronavirus

Sadly the Corona virus is still with us. Travel restrictions are in force countrywide. Only travel within our county allowed.

Unfortunately due to increasing number of cases the Country has been moved to level 5 and now travel is only allowed within a 5km radius of our home for 6weeks to early December.

Businesses are forced to close on a temporary basis and sadly many are going through very hard and depressing times. I fear many will not survive.

This restricts cycling and plans for a cycle tour around Ireland in October had to be shelved. Similarly travel abroad is also a problem due to increased cases and likely quarantine requirements either in the visited country or on returning home. 

Have to be content with cycling within a Radius of 5km although this is not as bad as it seems and can manage around 50km while keeping within the regulations
