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.

Thetford tonight

The forecast is good, anyone else fancy a thrash around Thetford this evening?

Re: Thetford tonight

May be interested if I can get out of work in time. Where is the meeting place and how are people getting there?

Re: Thetford tonight

Hi Rick

Apologies for not replying sooner, I didn't see your post until I got home. As I was running late it was a rush to get ready.

For future reference, the Thetford rides start from the car park at Brandon Country Park. We've moved the start time to 8 pm to give people more time to get there, however this does not seem to have worked as only Mark T and I made the trip...
