Re: Covid-19 - guidance from the TRF
This situation is evolving daily, only the first line of the lengthy TRF advice above is correct , ie follow Government advice. This advice is abundantly clear: stay at home. There are a few exceptions, but trail ridng is not one of them. Stay at Home .

Re: Covid-19 - guidance from the TRF
Here is the latest from TRF Directors
The Government’s lockdown exit plan and motorcycling.
In the past week we have worked with the leaders of the UK’s principal motorcycle organisations to ensure that the needs of over one million motorcyclists are considered during lockdown exit plans.
Sports scientists in the UK have played a lead role in demonstrating the value leisure motorcycling has as a form of exercise beneficial to both physical fitness and mental wellbeing. Accordingly, motorcycling is recognised as a sport by Sport UK.
Maintaining restrictions on motorcycling without good reason will unduly affect millions of people over the next few weeks, including both the well-being of riders and the £7.8bn UK motorcycle economy currently at a standstill.
When safe to do so, we seek the same explicit freedom to enjoy travel for leisure and exercise purposes as walkers, cyclists and car drivers providing social distancing measures are met. We understand motorcycling to be an inherently socially distanced activity.
Motorcycling’s role in lockdown exit will be discussed during a video call between principal organisations today.
This afternoon the Prime Minister published a 50-page ‘blueprint’ for the next stage in combating the virus before engaging in a one-hour discussion with MPs followed by a Q&A with members of the public.
We will publish a further bulletin tomorrow once specific guidance has been obtained from the Government’s blueprint and look forward to making a joint response with the UK’s principal motorcycling organisations as lockdown measures are eased.
We fully support ongoing action to prevent transmission of the virus.
