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.

cool.....the tree at stapleford it is then 
Was it just me, or did anyone else find last night's going particularly tough?
Am hoping to fully recover by next thurs, but as for the bike...I think this will need a few bob spending on the transmission
PS What happened to Shelton? - it was a bit quiet in the pub, mate.
it was a bit heavy under the wheels at times but I found the hardest part was home from the pub, all alone with a headwind, singlespeed & no-one to draft!!
got home knackered & freezing cold despite working hard!
if it makes anyone feel better i feel like i have a hangover, and my legs are complaining like a bugger today.
nothing that 3 hours in a jacizzi and a rub down with a damp edition of MBR wont fix though.
see you all next week for the next round of mud plugging.
