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.

... on all those of you who didn't come out! Maybe due to the torrential downpour that meant Shelton, Alison and I arrived at Brookside wetter than since last time I had a bath (I'll set 'em up, you knock 'em down! 
), it was small party of six set off. Numbers did swell during the ride to seven (Hi Cam) and then eight (nice of you to join us so late, Pasty).
Dampness notwithstanding, nice ride Shelton - thanks!
Alison mentioned in the pub the three day charity ride we're doing next week. 240 miles through Cornwall and Devon, arriving in Bristol to finish off - should be fun - as long as there's no more rain like yesterday! If you'd like to add a bit to help a great charity which works with kids with short lives and their parents, here's the link: Sponsor Dom and Alison.
Cheers
Dom
