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.

Tom,

Do you have a firm route in mind? (With an emphasis on the word FIRM!)

For Pasty: A Firm(ish) Route to George at Babraham

Out along Roman road. Linton water tower.Down the hill, x country to Hildersham. old railway line to Abington. Abington to Babraham and Beer.

I did something similar on Monday night. and it was rideable with muddy patches, but nothing that bunged the bike up.

see you later
