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.

Local ride Thursday?

Just wondering if anyone is around for a local ride on thursday evening, as opposed to Thetford? I'm sure Uncle Tom was thinking along the same lines...

Thanks
Pete

Re: Local ride Thursday?

Hi Rob,

I was going to suggest Queens Head Newton. Is that OK?

Re: Local ride Thursday?

Hi Pete,

I was going to see what time I could make it out from work before making my mind up about Thetford or local bimble. So watch this space.

Could do the Hairy Hounds...what's mud up on the hill like?

Re: Local ride Thursday _ Queens Head Newton

Hi All, but specifically Pasty

I was suggesting Queens Hd Newton as you lot are going to the Hairy Hounds next Tues. (I cant make that). So unless there are any serious objections....?

Re: Local ride Thursday _ Queens Head Newton

Local ride for "local" riders only???

Can I come too??

Re: Local ride Thursday?

Hope to be out for a local bimble, as long as the thumb doesn't descend.

QH@N gets my vote too :-)

Re: Local ride Thursday?

Sound good to me

Re: Local ride Thursday _ Queens Head Newton

QH@Newton is OK for me. Didn't see that the next ride is the Lepine Canines.
