SAFETY BRIEFING.
- Wear a helmet. Despite recent advances in medical science, brains still cannot be mended nor replaced.
- Wear gloves or mitts. Hands often hit the ground first. Cuts and grazes invite infection and a hospital visit.
- Wear eye protection, it only takes a twig or thorn to lose an eye. Crud catchers are a good idea in mucky weather.
- When downhilling, for your own protection, allow plenty of space behind the rider in front.
- Bring a bare minimum emergency tool kit and a spare inner tube.
- Breakdowns are a bore. Plan not to have any by ensuring your bike is in perfect working order.
- Punctures are also tedious. You can minimise them by fitting latex tubes, slime tubes or running tubeless tyres.

Would Haddenham be considered too far?
It's about 14 miles back to Cambridge by road... but only 2 miles to my house 
Could be "Had enough by Haddenham" ?

I'd like to lead out to Reach again, but need to check on my dates, or wait for the northern-related abuse

Us Northern guys must stick together. 'ey oop, where's me whippit? By 'eck as liiike... Haddenham and Reach both sound good to me.
I'd be happy to wander off somewhere, leading from the back - but I do appreciate that this offer may be greeted with raucous dis-belief after what can only be described as The Car-Park Incident last year.
I'll get me coat...
A daring suggestion, I know, but we could break with tradition (well not quite - Thetford springs to mind) and not start in Cambridge. I had the Red Lion in Histon in mind, and something like this. It's 30 miles, but it's very flat and there are lots of cop-out options...
