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.

Off topic - Local Car Hire recommendations

can anyone recommend any of the Cambridge car hire companies? My neice is over from Oz, principally to do a Triatholon, and needs to hire a Focus sized car from next friday till the following saturday or sunday. I think the National ones are deemed not good vfm. Any advice welcome. Thanks , Pete.
PS She has a full UK licence and no points.

Pete, we use Cambridge Car & Van Rental at work. I don't suppose we would use them if they weren't cheap!

Pete,
We used to use Enterprise in Histon - they often have pretty good rates, and can pick you up/drop off from your house.
cheers,
Rich
