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.

Enjoy the Big Adventure!

Hope you have a great ride tomorrow night - best of luck to anyone trying to understand Pasty's rules! Gutted to be missing it...

This is a shameless plug for some sponsorship - following in the venerable footsteps of Pat and Nige! Alison and I are riding our bikes over 250 miles in three days in Cornwall and Devon this coming weekend, to raise money for a children's hospice. It's a very worthy cause - having a child with a terminal illness must be heartbreaking, and the hospices do great work in providing at least some respite and support for the children and their families.

Please try and remember this, rather than your perception that Alison and I might be having three very enjoyable days cycling, if you choose to look at this link and bung some money in the charity's direction:
