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.

The White Horse Barton

Anyone riding tonight?

I'm up for some (very) fresh air and exercise.

Re: The White Horse Barton

Hi Jon,

Yes, I'm up for the Barton Gray, as the equestrian lot would call it. Quite blowy out at the moment, but forecast says calming down to 13 mph westerlies, with a 25 mph gust or three....

Re: The White Horse Barton
