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.

had been planning on riding but have caught a pastyesque illness so see you all next week
I've eaten far too many mince pies, too much turkey, drunk no where near enough, spent the day in town going round the sales.....that I didn't even know I was going to see, been rained on, blown all over the place and then had to do the food shopping.
I wouldn't miss it for the world, count me in for a lardy ride.
Just got back after one hour or so of pressing on into that headwind . Thanks to Bowsey for that essential get you home comestible, the date slice. Sorry i held you guys up a bit tonight, should be faster next time....
