DISCLAIMER. MOUNTAIN BIKING CAN BE DANGEROUS. YOU JOIN US AT YOUR OWN RISK.

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 anybody?

Anyone up for Thetford tonight or is the possibility of seeing a Bulgarian woman's snatch on TV more tempting?

Weightlifting, for God's sake!

Re: Thetford anybody?

Hi Tony,

If no takers, I'm up for a local ride.

Re: Thetford anybody?

Bah humbug! Too much work as I'm on holiday next week; I won't be leaving work 'til late.

Re: Thetford anybody?

Hi Pat,

From my totally un-biased viewpoint, I would say its gone in favour of Thetford! I'll keep monitoring till 6pm.

Re: Thetford anybody?

Me un Bowes will b riding from the hairy hounds at 19.30
The more the merrier !

Re: Thetford anybody?

Hi Pete, I've just spoken to tony and we think in the absence of other interested parties going to Thetford we will ride local.
We are thinking of a westish ride and a finish at the Blue Lion in Hardwick, but this can be confirmed at the start of the ride from Brookside.

Laters.

Re: Thetford anybody?

I'll be at the Hairy Hounds for 19:30, thanks for the suggestion!
