Another lockdown=less riding?

The way I am reading this at the moment is that is, "Recommended" to travel only locally. Blue Mountain, Parry Sound, Niagara Falls.

To me that is local. Who can say it is not. Show me the Law.
 
This could work in my favour...

'Sorry... I Can't come in until this stay at home order thing is lifted.
Y'see... I live in one region and well, you know... Work in another so....

Damn...so no Lowes/Home Depot?
Was looking forward to getting some stuff for renovation this weekend.
 
Last year about this time of year we were in a similar situation.
I rode plenty with the biggest obstacle being the whole bathroom thing.
It got so bad we created a map to where all the port a pottys were.
So far I’ve seen Timmis and McD washrooms being open, hopefully that wont be a problem.
This Saturday I’m planning on taking a lady friend for a ride along the Niagara River.
I’ll be sure to wear a mask. :)
I am planning on another west coast trip this summer provided the rules are no worse than last year.
(patio’s open / you could sit at a bar and have a cold beer / wear a mask…that kinda thing.
One thing I noticed the most about last summers trip was the lack of people at heavy tourist places.
You could easily walk around Banff and Jasper and Whistler and get seats on patios and such cause there were way less tourist.
I talked to one of the waitresses and she figured they had about 1/3 of the customers they normally have.
This made a huge difference to my trip.
I could always get a motel room / table with a wonderful view / parking spots / no lineup for ice cream etc etc etc.
I’m sure others who did west coast trips noticed this also.
I don’t know how many more years you are going to get before everything goes back to normal.
But I’m definitely going to take advantage of a “Less MotherF#$%!rs In My Way” kind of trip :)

Kid works at HD, and is moving to click and collect. Will be fun with paint matching.

I like the way you think.
I am going to be selfish on this one item and go riding, I've done eveything else they have asked, but not giving up this.

I was just there earlier today, HD was much busier then I have seen it over the past year. But I don't get it no line ups to get in no checking at entrance, just free for all. Luckliy I could get out quickly.

Yep, I can easily distance myself from others so me not riding is not going to happen

12:01 Thursday morning shut down . Went out to get groceries . Malls/big box stores were packed . Same scenario when this lockdown is over . People need to buy stuff . Forcing them to buy in short periods . Stuffs the stores full .

New rubber on the bike . Just have to pack lunch . I need my exercise by the Niagara Parkway .

What is that doing the same stupid thing three times . Resulting in the same result ? They had a year to prepare for this . Instead of getting temporary hospitals set up . Training more nurses for the ICU . He sat on his hands and did nothing .

Big box stores will rake in more money . Now they will just deliver to your home . No more employees at the store to stack things . Just direct shipping probably straight from the manufactures . Less jobs more profits .

Three times he "almost" did something.

Even with those measures in place you`re still going to get 'lockdowns'.

But now that i'm thinking about it, since they dropped the ball at the beginning with half ass measures and never dealt with people getting off planes, perhaps they reason that half assed measures were the better way forward. You don't get quite the economic and social fallout from a full lockdown but the numbers will drop.

Interesting.
 
Home Depot was packed today.

Some gyms here have lawyered up, and are opening to people with a note saying they need physical therapy, claiming it falls under the disability act.
