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.

Anyone around on Thursday?

Is anyone up for the orienteering, mildly competitive Big Adventure this Thursday or, as it is the holiday season is Thetford a better option?

Re: Anyone around on Thursday?

Sorry Tony, I'm in London (not exotic Geneva :( on Thursday night. But I think I haven't received the bottle from the Fecund Frolic yet!

Re: Anyone around on Thursday?

May well be able to sneak out on Thursday, happy to Big Adventure or head to Thetford.

Re: Anyone around on Thursday?

Hi Tony,
I'm pretty sure I'm out tomorrow but Thursday I think I'm going to be looking after his lord ship & so won't be out.

Re: Anyone around on Thursday?

Thetford or somewhere local then. I haven't prepared anything for a competitive event. You could pick your own waypoints...

Re: Anyone around on Thursday?

I should be out, local, Thetford or navigation challenge.

Weather looks interesting...

Mike - Paul said that you wouldn't have liked it so he had it.
