What does this mean for cyclists?
- Gathering limits will be 1000 people (including athletes and support staff) in an undivided space outdoors.
- Gathering limits will be 250 people in an undivided space in indoor premises, or a maximum of one person per 2 m² under the density limit, whichever is less.
- Full training can commence.
- Full competition can commence.
- Change rooms can be used and other shared facilities.

Cycling Tasmania is pleased to announce that bunch rides can recommence. However, please ensure bunches are limited to a maximum of 20 riders, you are familiar with the Code of Conduct for Cyclists and you do not attend rides if feeling unwell with cold or flu like symptoms.
