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.

Yeah, I'm up for it - but can we please not go West again into the Terra Lutulentus, but rather stick to Patrium Calxus. Otherwise I'll have another hissy fit and take my toys home! 
Dom
I've got several layers of dust on my bike at the mo. Hope to be out later tho'.
Poetic, ain't I?
We'd really appreciate it if next time you post to this forum, while writing, if you can
You make it scan
If, like you, I had the time,
My poems would scan as well as rhyme,
But as I struggle to find a minute,
You'll get what you're given,
That's fair enough, innit?
