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.

Longstowe anybody? Now where did I put that moustache?
hoping to be out...but will be on a bike with gears for a change as the single speed is under repair!
That's OK if everyone reads your post before they leave...
Do you have many ditch crossings in mind? 
Tom
you know the tune.....
Duncan, so you think you would like
to go for - a longer ride on your bike
and you think - we should start early tonight
when should we all be leaving?
da da da da
it's fun to drink at the Red House, Longstowe

What time then?
i'm planning to ride tonight.
i have 8 sparkly pound coins and a load of paper notes both brown and purple.
i have cunningly fitted my summer tyres for tonight so i will be first into the ditch with the wheels in the air.
Hmm! Perhaps I should not tempt fate like that.
You may have tempted fate, Pat, but you weren't the only one. I've just realised that Simon's post is an anagram of "I expect to put my front wheel in a rabbit hole and have a rest upside-down in a huge bed of nettles"

Yes it was a restless night with my arms and legs still stinging through the night!.... I wondered why everyone was hanging back behind pasty up that hill....and then I realised why! It was an eventful but great ride....especially Duncan's little 3 mile detour that seem to take us about an hour
