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.

At the risk of being labelled a Roadie (as per Tony's recent posting on Tribes), I will be roading it to the pub this evening with Pete.
That's more of a recovery thing rather than a reaction to the muddy, crappy trails. But it does help with having a cleaner bike afterwards.

Planning on doing the mud version of Cam Road Club (note we're not a club)if anyone is going under 40 psi?
Not here, so won't be out. Instead I shall be goading people in the National Gallery.
Squeal like a pig, boy.
