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.

Hi
I've a friend who is about to buy and I know I've had conversations with a couple of you concerning a light that kicks out around 1000 lumens and costs around £50.
Notwithstanding that there were some reservations over build quality can anyone tell me what the make of light was so I can pass it on?
Cheers
Simon

3 of the guys i work with have these, the battery lasts 3 hours so it may be worth getting a spare.
build wise they look good, they are waterproof to 1m ....even the battery.
Thanks Pat - hopefully see you in the spring, though I'm not sure if I'm needed in Wyton so it maybe goodbye!
Cheers
Simon
