Coronavirus (COVID-19) - SLAM Actions - Updated 13/05/2020
In line with advice from IAM RoadSmart, SLAM have with immediate effect (17/03/2020) taken the following actions to help protect members from the Covid-19 virus:
• Immediate cessation of Associate training, including observed rides and group training sessions (classroom, machine control and test brief).
• Cancellation of all face to face SLAM Social meetings - but keep an eye out for online events that we will be organising on a regular basis.
• Cancellation of all SLAM organised rides.
Government guidance for “lockdown" has recently been changed, notably with respect to leisure activity. The recent MCN article we wrote to you about gives more details. Please remember, you must still maintain social distancing at all times. Sadly, this still does not change the position for SLAM activities at present.
When you first go out on your bike, please take extra care as you will not have ridden for some time, and other road users - bikers and motorists will all be in the same position. Remember, for the past few weeks, pedestrians and cyclists having become used to having the roads to themselves!
We will of course update you further as the situation develops, and we understand how we will be able to start activities again.
Stay safe

SLAM Chair
Do you like riding in the wet? Are you a "quick" wet weather rider... or a cautious one? Wet weather riding requires high levels of concentration and precision, but is immensely rewarding when you gain confidence in doing it. The simple fact is that some riders will be more than happy to adjust their riding in wet conditions and accept they will be slower, or in some cases, just not go out at all when the road is wet or it is raining! Some folk won't stray out when there is even a forecast of potential rain...
But riding in the wet IS fun! Here are some thoughts which draw on a longer article by wet weather veteran Mark Burns that might be of help.
