DISCLAIMER. MOUNTAIN BIKING CAN BE DANGEROUS. YOU JOIN US AT YOUR OWN RISK.

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.
  • Don't ride too close to the person in front. If they crash into a badger, you'll need time to swerve.

Thetford Tuesday

Any takers for Thetford tomorrow? Lots of evening daylight available and the weather should be better than today at least!

Re: Thetford Tuesday

8 o'clock?

Re: Thetford Tuesday

Planning on riding

Re: Thetford Tuesday

I could do earlier, perhaps 7pm if it suits everyone else, but otherwise 8pm is fine.

Richard

Re: Thetford Tuesday

I'm in!

Re: Thetford Tuesday

Doing a longee tomorrow so not out tonight

Re: Thetford Tuesday

Richard, I missed your post, but Barry and I want to ride and we can't make it til 8. I think Andy W ditto, so 8 would be better unless you want to do 2 rides.

Re: Thetford Tuesday


Hi,

I am thinking of coming out tonight at Thetford, where do you normal meetup?

Thanks
Errol

Re: Thetford Tuesday

No problem, 8pm it is Claire. JonM offered to meet me earlier but I've had a tiring day so decided not to overdo it by starting early.
Errol - Brandon Country Park car park is the meeting place.
