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.

Anyone out ?

Is anyone out tonight and free of domestic appliance moving woes? (page 22 indeed). I hear Comberton is usually free of sticky clay at this time of year.

Re: Anyone out ?

Assuming the wind eases off (and no, that's not a medical excuse ) I'll be out.

Re: Anyone out ?

Wind easing off? Doesn't look likely! But I'll probably toddle along anyway...
