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: Thursday's Away Day

Looks like a nice route, I'll take the train to get there & back.
What time did you want to set off?

Re: Thursday's Away Day

Hi Sylvio,
This is the train I am intending to catch, albeit at Shelford if I manage to set off in time.
Rumour has it Paul L will grace this train service with his presence as well.

Re: Thursday's Away Day

I have to skip this evening unfortunately - too much work. Poor excuse I know.

Re: Thursday's Away Day

I’ll be there at 7:30.
