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.

Ditto all the above. I quite enjoyed the mad sprint, but I also would have enjoyed an extra pint...
Which is better? There's only one way to find out...
FIGHT!!!
Looking forward to the next time.
Yes definitely an Epic Diggers, well done!
Needless to say I enjoyed the mad sprint too, but would appreciate swapping this for more beer time.
Ditto all the above, although I enjoyed the more leisurely sprint and self-nadgering moment on the kerb near the Dernford Farm turn.
We should definitely do this again. Ely anyone?

I feel another Covern consultation coming on. Amen
