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.

Re: Plough and Fleece

Tom - hope you weren't on your own at Brookside last night? I only realised there was a change of venue to Horningsea late yesterday, so I'd made other plans. Popped along to the Plough & Fleece about 9:30pm to 10:30pm, but no sign of anyone.

Hope you made the best of the evening somewhere.

Re: Plough and Fleece

Sorry Richard - we changed to the Ancient Shepherd at Fen Ditton so Mark T could show us a cunning bit of track.

It was a reasonable turn out - 10 of us, a nice ride!

Bugger, I was only 5 minutes up the road as well. Never mind, the folk music was good.
