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.

It was a claggy nightmare on Friday. Although rideable, my bike weighed 60lb by the time I got to the end. I can't imagine conditions have improved much since then.
Of course, if you like a challenge...
Not out this week I'm afraid.
still chipping the mud off from last thursday, and having nightmares about Shelton's shortcut to get to the pub.
hope to be out thursday.
