Bike Guide Devon's approach to guiding under Covid-19

As a British Cycling mountain bike leader, I am following British Cycling's guidance for Covid-19. This means the maximum group size for any guided ride will be 5 people.

​

Recommended social distancing is one metre plus mitigations. This means people that are not in a family group can ride one metre apart when side by side; two meters apart otherwise

​

If I develop any symptoms of Covid I will postpone or cancel your ride (you choose which). Please do the same if you have any symptoms. If a ride is cancelled due to Covid symptoms, and you do not want to reschedule, I will refund your payment.

​

You should, if possible, bring your own bike and equipment (spare tube, pump and other tools), and ensure that it is in good working order. I recommend bringing sunglasses or safety glasses as Covid can ingress through eyes as well as mouth and nose. If you are hiring a bike, check that the hirer has cleaned it thoroughly between customers.

​

You will also need to bring water and snack (please don't share with anyone that isn't in your family group), sanitiser and a face mask (this last one is just a safety precaution for use in case of an injury first aid requiring attention).

​

I continue to be covered under British Cycling insurance. I have a valid outdoor first aid certificate, and will carry appropriate PPE in addition to my usual first aid kit.
