Not empirical as no baseline and people were starting to ignore lockdown last week on the hot day etc
But just for a laff
1. I had been up at Colzium Art Farm again recce-ing the route up West Cairn post lockdown.
So I was at the little slip road on the corner waiting as I could hear a car coming at speed. After the car two cyclists came by together (maybe flat mates or partners who can say). They were then joined by their mate and the 3 of them proceeded to cycle together (men age 30-40). My inside voice said You fecking Dominic Cummingses. But outside I went thumps on the pedals and burnt them going up to the crest then tucked like an old blanket when the quickening kicked in and departed.
I was then caught by the Edvald Boasenhagen lookalike who was not part of the trio. I know I cant catch him, he is 20 and a machine. I still chased him to the Kirknewton turn at which point I was overtaken by one of the trio who then immediately slowed and turned down to Kirknewton, His name was Dick.
