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.

Ride to Thetford tomorrow (Sunday) if anyone's interested

On the off chance any of you are interested, I'll be riding to Thetford tomorrow morning, aiming to arrive there by 1pm. I'll be passing the usual start place at 9am, and it should take about 3.5hrs to get there (mostly off road).
Feel free to join me for the ride there if you're keen, or alternatively meet me at BCP coffee shop at around 1pm for a bimble around Thetford for an hour or two. I'll also be riding back to Cambridge (on road).

cheers,
Rich
