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: Blue Balloon

Mr Fenton, Did you manage to meet at the pub? good to see you, maybe next time we wont be shedding mud from our bikes...

Re: Blue Balloon

Hi Shelton, no, didn't find them. So, apart from the mud, no company, no beer, and rain for the last leg it was a splendid evening
See you next year unless you're out tonight.
