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.

Hi all,
Next Tuesday is my Show us Yours which is planned as a long ride out to a faraway pub and a train back.
The plan is to go to a pub that my friend and his wife own, they do nice Thai food, so I am going to get them to do us some mixed starters which are delicious.
So I will try and get an idea of numbers to give him so if people can let me know if they are likely to be coming, and also bring some train and food money that would be great. ROLL UP ROLL UP for me getting you totally lost (not totally got the hang of the route...) and going to a new pub.
