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.

Well I never heard such a load of excuses ... too wet to ride??
At least PT came up with a half decent one - deaf in one ear! I hadn't realised you were navigating using sonar though Pasty - impressive 
Depending on how much rain we get today, I may be out tonight .......
Yeah, it was an odd one. The hearing came back gradually but I couldn't hear well in that ear until the following day.
My sonar was disrupted, but at least I don't navigate by touch, like Pat does.
yep - i ride using the brail method.....lots of small bumps - good, no bumps - warning, big bump - ouch.
well i will be out on the trails tonight regardless of the weather.
