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.

Re: Fendango 2019 - Feb 23 - 50 miles of mud, scones and ale

Excellent ride Adriano. Great scones, great beer, great weather. Those of you that stayed at home to do the hoovering missed a treat.

Hi how do we get involved in this? Just come across your club it looks class!

Hi Richard,

Just sent you the fendango sign up email, feel free to come along - its free, sociable and fairly stupid. That said, this year's course is actually enjoyable. A departure from the usual misery fest format.

Quite right. Brilliant ride*. Thanks to Adrian for arranging.

Don't knock hoovering until you've tried it.

Glad you had a good time - had ale and sausages at Sutton Gault instead - big skies there!
