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.

Balsham Bell

Hi all,

Weather forecast shows heavy rain at 19:00 but then clear and sunny by 20:00.

I need a bike ride so I'm going to risk it. Anyone care to join me?

Re: Balsham Bell

as per my post, yes.

Re: Balsham Bell

As I recall last week's Thursday forecast said it would clear up at about 7. What could possibly go wrong? I'll be there to see.

Re: Balsham Bell

Yep I am up for getting soaked again :)

Re: Balsham Bell

My bike needs a wash, so I'll be out too.

Re: Balsham Bell

What ever shall I wear?
