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.

i shall join you if i may, i don't have enough time to cycle to Thetford before the start time.
Thanks for your concern last night, folks. I managed to get back home without needing any of the bog roll I took from the Hairy Hounds' toilet, but I've needed it since, if you know what I mean.
I had a very feverish night, so now in bed, waiting for the inevitable visits to the bathroom.
Tom
glad to hear you made it home ok after i left you at brookside.
looking on the bright side, you could have used a couple of pages out of the excuses book if you got caught short!
LMAO
