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.

Alternative local ride tonight ??

For those not going to Thetford tonight I'm planning on riding from Brookside at 19.30 and ending up at The Hairy hounds in Harlton.
Anyone else care to join me ?

Re: Alternative local ride tonight ??

Well done Duncan - simultaneous posts - Makes one ask - who is spying on whom?

Re: Alternative local ride tonight ??

I'll road it to the pub, see you later, Dom and Alison also intending to make their own way to pub.

Re: Alternative local ride tonight ??

OK, beer trumps trees.

Re: Alternative local ride tonight ??

well i'm working a bit later than normal tonight, if i don't see you at the start i will see you at the pub, if i dont encounter you on the trails.

Re: Alternative local ride tonight ??

Bad planning - have forgotten to charge my lights.

If I can rectify that (like if I have enough charge left from last time) I will be out. Else it's Tuesday to make up for my errors.

If Paul Lyons is watching, the weather for D2D is bound to be awful - the BBC is currently forecasting a daytime temperature of +22C and sunny.

Cheers
