DISCLAIMER. MOUNTAIN BIKING CAN BE DANGEROUS. YOU JOIN US AT YOUR OWN RISK.

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.

Can anyone give me a lift to Thetford tomorrow night?

Hi - looks like the weather's going to be kind to us tomorrow, and as it's my birthday, i figured what would be better than to celebrate by going for a thrash around Thetford!!

Can anyone give me a lift there?

cheers,
Rich

Rich,

If you're still in need of a lift, let me know. I should be able to detour into Cambridge on my way back from work.

Great - I'd love a lift - what time are you heading over there, and where's the best place to meet? I'll try giving you a call.

cheers,
Rich

Top ride that!!

Hey - thanks for a great ride at Thetford last night guys!! Seems the mud from Dusk-Dawn has dried up, as the trails were in awesome condition (at least on the BCP side) - that's my single track fix until the winter series starts .....

Re: Top ride that!!

Hey Rich,

Thanks for leading... by far my most enjoyable visit to Thetford, near perfect conditions. I was flagging a bit at the end but it was a great ride.

Re: Top ride that!!

the GPS track is pretty funny ... bit spaghetti like ...
Now to cross fingers and hope we get conditions like that for the winter series races ....
