Gravelocity Covid-19 Restrictions

No. Outdoor transmission of the virus has been proven to be low risk. In addition, our wheels naturally provide two metres of social distancing, and though we will likely ride in formation, riding on gravel usually increases the distance between cyclists. 

Per provincial health guidelines, we'll mask up whenever we can’t keep our distance. We’ll also be expected to obey whatever restrictions are put in place by the inns where we stay, and the dining or snack establishments we visit.

We will have an ample supply of three-layer disposable masks available at our assembly point each morning. We also provide small tubes of hand sanitizer that you can carry with you on the ride.

We’ve included a first-night dinner for two reasons. First, we like to build camaraderie within each group. Second, we want to make that first day trouble-free for our guests. After driving to our location, cycling for a few hours and checking in, the last thing you need to do is worry about where to dine that night. Whether we eat at separate tables, or in some combination of groups, the restaurants we’ve chosen will work with us to seat us all within an acceptable distance of each other. All of our venues also offer outdoor dining, which tends to be less affected by changing health guidelines.

Recently, even the strictest limits on outdoor exercise have maxed out at 10 persons. While our groups may be as large as 14 riders, we expect that provincial health guidelines will not affect group size.
