It's unlikely that we will have had our booster shot by then, so this one is off the calendar for us at this point.

Post by: Bodø on January 01, 2022, 11:23:27 AM
Is a booster shot required for this venue?  :eek

If so I won't have it either.  I don't think I am eligible for a booster until march.

Post by: StinkyPete on January 01, 2022, 11:33:51 AM
I'm quite sure that no booster will be required by the venue (I haven't checked) but am guessing that Langers and Julie are acting out of an abundance of caution.    I must admit that I am suffering from "Covid Reluctance" and am avoiding crowds and unnecessary places, and will make a late call about going to this RTE.

I spent all of christmas long weekend at home and this weekend will also be at home for the same reason, but still intend to make this RTE (pending what happens between now and then).

There is also the 25% cap for indoor dining to consider.

I've been boosted, but am still wary of places. In limited experience, too many younger wait staff seem to think that having a mask over their mouth, but not their nose is compliant, or will remove it when talking to you.

Just back from visiting my father, with family who came over from Victoria, for his birthday. The aged care facility he's in is locked down due to an infection in the staff - no other cases as yet - but had to do a socially distant celebration outdoors in masks for him under the supervision of staff in full PPE. Not quite the 90th we'd all planned for.

We have not yet reached peak infection rate here in SA, that will be closer to the date of this ride. Given that, agree that we need to consider the situation and make a call closer to the date.

Pete is correct, it is only an abundance of caution. I don't "need" to attend and I wouldn't want to be one of those who will tie up a hospital bed because I hadn't had the booster that is available and I went to something I didn't "need" to go to. Each to his own. I'd probably feel more comfortable if we rode to a park or some such and self catered - at least we'd be mixing in a group of Covid aware souls.
Bodo, as of Tuesday you are eligible for the booster if you had your second shot 4 or more months ago.

Mark, I booked Sandy's and mine at the chemist last Thursday, but yes, not until the 19th of Jan, so too late for this ride.

I wouldn't get to this one anyway as I have another commitment that day.

 :bl11. I'm happy to have a bring your own everything to a park or reserve if things are risky.Everyone must make their own informed choice .Lets hope we're not worrying about this in six months!

Post by: StinkyPete on January 05, 2022, 07:08:35 AM
We have interest from...

StinkyPete
Bodo
John g
Shillas (perhaps)

I have not booked at the hotel yet, and do like John's idea of meeting in a park somewhere for a BYO picnic, so I will look into some options.   Caution over Covid spread may mean we cancel anyway in the days before the RTE, and we'll take advice from those who planned on going.   
Title: Re: Saturday 15th January 2022 - Lunch at the Cape Jervis Tavern
Post by: StinkyPete on January 05, 2022, 07:31:43 PM
There's a nice picnic area adjacent to the Milang Jetty if we choose to go the picnic option.   It has toilets, shelter and a nearby bakery.

Post by: Bodø on January 05, 2022, 07:45:04 PM
I'm pretty sure that's next to the park I went to when I did the Hills Sculpture trail last year.  The park is quite big, but it is also across the road from the caravan park.

In this Covid ravaged time, I seek the opinions of those who have expressed interest in this RTE.
Do we...     Go ahead at the Cape Jervois pub
                 BYO picnic at Milang
                 Cancel

My own preference is for a BYO picnic at the Milang waterfront.

Not keen on cancelling but shall be happy to go to either venue.  Hopefully the weather will be good if we picnic.

I'd love to ride the routes to & from Cape Jervis - one of the reasons it made the list.

While there is still a reasonable spread of Omicron around, I'm happy to go with Milang.

The 'Yesterdays Power' Event is on at Milang oval on both Saturday and Sunday, which might make the day more worthwhile, but will also make it more crowded. For those interested, the PS Oscar W will be there and running cruises.
Title: Re: Saturday 15th January 2022 - Lunch at the Cape Jervis Tavern
Post by: Shillas on January 07, 2022, 08:36:07 PM
That might sort of impact on keeping COVID potential contacts to a minimum.
Title: Re: Saturday 15th January 2022 - Lunch at the Cape Jervis Tavern
Post by: Langers on January 07, 2022, 08:57:14 PM
It should still a lower risk than meeting and eating indoors, provided one is sensible.

Thanks Dragonstaff.   This will mean that the wharf area will be very crowded, so I suggest we choose another picnic area somewhere.   Any suggestions before I make an executive decision?  :grin

The Narrunga Jetty reserve could be an option, it has toilets, im not sure about other facilities but its a nice ride down there through the Fleurieu with a number of routes to choose from and one can do the loop of the peninsula back through Meningie and head home via the Fleurieu or the freeway.
Title: Re: Saturday 15th January 2022 - Lunch at the Cape Jervis Tavern
Post by: StinkyPete on January 08, 2022, 07:34:41 AM
Thanks Langers.  Narrunga Jetty Reserve does not look like it has tables when viewed via StreetView

Meningie waterfront might be a possibiity, as it has shade,  toilets, tables, and a bakery over the road.

   Narrung does have a cement table and benches.it also has a shelter shed with some chairs inside,although it's not that big and you would have to share it with other people..I've stayed there a few times and found most people sit around there own campsite.its really a matter of luck if it's vacant .theres a few trees around for shade but you would have to bring a chair of your own.

I think anywhere you choose you're going to run the risk of someone beating you to it.  When picnic was first mentioned I envisioned sitting on the grass in an open space.

Need to check if the ferry is running - news recently that it is out of action  - seemed to indicate longer than the normal one day maintenance outage.

Hi John & Kahrin and thanks for the most generous offer, which we will greatfully accept.   I will amend the original post, and assume that 1230 at the Narrung Ferry Campground will suit you well.   SAturday's forecast is 25 perfect degrees.

Home at around 5.00pm.   I had a great day, and at 300km it was by far my longest ride since I hurt my back in August.
Sincere thanks to John and Kahrin for hosting our BBQ/Picnic lunch. :grin
