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.

Re: Tonight-Blue Ball

See you later for a chilly dry one

Re: Tonight-Blue Ball

I'm planning on being there. Might try to get my new latex tubes in if I've got time too.

Re: Last night-Blue Ball

Hi All,
Thanks for having me out last night. When the weather is reasonable for a cross bike I will definitely join you again. Good fun, nice group.

Best,
Wes

Re: Last night-Blue Ball

Glad you enjoyed it-you got round pretty well as far as I could see-certainly fast on the uppy bits! Aren't cross bikes meant to get a bit dirty? we were certainly lucky it was frozen last night.
Hope to see you again.
