Well I will open the Corona discussion here.....today I have asked the question to the Athinahotel in Manteigas as borders are closing and we cant ride to the hotel most likely now how they feel about postponing this rte untill a later date after the summer peak or a total cancellation of the event....havent seen an answer as yet but want to ask same thing here as it should in a democratic group. We can switch it untill sometime september if not causing any trouble with existing plans Britbutt and/or IBA Brd activities? or we cancel the Cuneo RTE and make that the Manteigas RTE so we end up doing 4 i.o.5 rides to eat this year.....Thoughts??

Okay, I'll go first!
For me, seeing as Italy has been hit the hardest (so far), and the UK probably to follow, plus I have been to Italy several times...I would rather delay Portugal until later in the year and cancel Italy...of course, opinions will vary as every day the situation changes.
My company has already ordered that we work from home if possible...

Thanks, Kim for leading the pack...

Well, I don't think in five weeks from now we'll be back in our normal lives (unfortunately). We're locked in and they won't reopen the borders unless they are absolutely sure it is safe to do so (they are still politicians, though)

So, I think postponing is the best thing we could do. And it is something the hotel might accept also. September in Portugal should be lovely, maybe a week after Brit Butt?
