We are only on council lockdown from 1PM on weekends, Pete, so tomorrow morning I'll go for a ride on my bike, make it home before lunch and then maybe wash it in the afternoon (Pete's washing machine smilie) 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't leave home except to work, exercise or walk dogs. What is enforced is traffic between councils. This goes for almost all regions, and has been going for a week now. This is in place from 11PM to 5AM on weekdays, and from 1PM to 5AM on weekends. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thing is, there are a lot of exceptions here in Portugal, you can walk your dogs, exercise, go to work, visit relatives in need of help, etc, even travel during lockdown if you have a letter from your employer stating you're working. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grasshopper Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 There are travel "suggestions" here, don't go out unless you have to kind of thing. You can "play" outside but keep it local and no groups. Not really a concern as we just go into the forest and don't play well with others anyways. So today we enjoyed a nice ride in the misty forest. Stopped at a waterfall for my BOTM pic and Bagheera wanted to take a shower..... Plan to ride around tomorrow and Sunday as well as work on my next YouTube video "First Snow" 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tym Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 Nice pics @Grasshopper's Ride, i forgot my camera butt, i rode downtown, my new 12 volt coil ran the LED;s no problem on Loosenuts with the battery disconnected, the only flicker comes when you kill the motor. I showed Antman outside the liquor store, he thinks i know something, he loved the lights.. all the people waiting in line for the Sushi place next door dint like the smoke when i rode by, oh well... Friday night rocks so far... 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MooN Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 still in confinement here. weather clear but cold and we had the first frost of the season this morning. Had to send No. 1 out for supplies this morning as Madame MooN is not well. I don't think it's the dreaded lurghy but she does so as a professional hypochondriac she is is busy preparing for the worst . 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Fallsalot Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 I had a message from blunder road (thunder road) motorcycles to say the brake pads for the XR were in, so decided to take the dog via the little country roads to Bridgend to pick them up, when i get there they sure lived up to their nick name they ordered me rear pads instead of the fronts I'd asked for so i bought them to keep in the spares box. That means another visit next week, ahh well it got me out on the bike and i stayed out for another couple of hours, it was wet and windy but the waterproofs kept me dry quite enjoyed it. only took a couple of photos twas a little wet you see The road to the bike shop is not the best or it is the best depending on how you look at it Heading up over the Bwlch mountain road And heading home 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
