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.

Local, not Thetford

Hi All,

After last week's quagmire, I'm hoping for a bit of something colder and frostier this evening, before the snow starts anyway.

Given that snow is on the cards and I have some 'Dad's Taxi-ing' to do either side of riding, I'm not going to travel to Thetford this evening.

I'm up for a local ride, though. Anyone else? Thinking perhaps Grantchester - Blue Ball or Green Man, or even to see if I can get checked out of the Rupert Brooke for a laugh.

Not me. I'm ailing but would rather be ale-ing.
