We've just been instructed to work from home for the foreseeable. Sure many of you will have or be getting the same.

So since our usual social structures aren't there, thought I'd set this up as a drop-in spot for us all. Anything on your mind, just want to say hello to someone? Bob it in here and let's see this out together

These are the craziest of times aren't they?

I haven't even got the outlet of cycling and playing rugby for the time being.

We will be having a Yaks social when this is all over. Getting the train down for a pint JD?

Given up the booze, would you believe?

We can still go out for solo rides though, right??

Supposed to be going to my girlfriend's parents (78 and 83) this weekend and to the theatre in Southampton. That ain't happening is it?
Then supposed to be going to my mum's (84) on Monday. Probably shouldn't.

I went out the other morning and despite spending my entire bike racing career wanting emptier roads it felt really odd.

Here is a bit of reading for us...

Morning. Still unsure about going on the bike. Feels a touch irresponsible.
Don't know what me and my partner are going to do given we don't actually live together yet. Couldn't bear to be apart for an extended period of time.

Long story short, feeling quite down and anxious about it all

I am getting bored with the turbo already !

Hang in there mate. Whatever the length of time this takes we are a day nearer it being over.

Actually been nice to do some work today. Yesterday - day off - was a right slog.
