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.

Hildersham

Anyone out?

I have a cold and a wedding anniversary, but I might make it out if Mrs Lee and my sinuses are in agreement.

Re: Hildersham

I should be out, my wives never seem to complain that I go out riding too often.

Re: Hildersham

Hello Dave

Re: Hildersham

Planning to be out tonight, my wife doesn't mind, I'm already dead anyway!

Re: Hildersham

i will be out to see if my legs work

Re: Hildersham

I'll be riding in from Hildersham if anyone wants to join me, I'll aim to leave the pear tree at about 6.30

Re: Hildersham

I'm going to give it a miss, regretably, as I'm not quite de-snotted enough. Code for "it really is my wedding anniversary".

Shame, as I will miss the plethora of long dead royalty and rock aristocracy. Going cycling with a load of old kings would make for a difference from the norm, anyway.

Re: Hildersham

as opposed to riding with a load of old queen's Pasty?
