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.

Mild? Dry?
Given the last few weeks, those two words are putting a spring in my step, a song in my heart, and a foot into my cycling shoe... 
Alison and I will be out, and will ride in from the Couille d"Or. A nice off-road route is about 11.5 miles (rather than a tarmac-fest) so we'll aim to be riding by 6.25.

i'm planning to ride tonight.
Pete T and Pasty, a collegue of mine rides in from Earith along the Mis-guided bus way and said "it was a bitch of a head wind" this morning, you may want to give yourselves a couple of extra mins on the way in.
Cheers for that, Pat. Sounds like the flooding's gone down a bit if he made it in from Earith.

The wind is currently South-Westerly and forecast to stay that way. Boxworth to town is predominantly South-Easterly. Should be a fast blast!
