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.

Tonight, Flowered Police Horningsea

The forecast is, well, changeable and there is a difference of opinion between the BBC's nice graph and their weather map. So it might rain, or it might not.

Still, I'm game for a laugh. Anyone else out? I may even "Do a Dom."

Re: Tonight, Flowered Police Horningsea

Going to 'do a Dom'? does that involve getting lost and losing a wheel or even a whole bike?

The met office says 'dry' with 3 blobs of rain.

I hope to be out

Re: Tonight, Flowered Police Horningsea

I'm planning to be out, despite the Met Office severe weather warning. Have to see how hard the rain is at 7pm

Re: Tonight, Flowered Police Horningsea

Hope too be out tonight....even if it rains it won't be as bad as mountain mayhem!

Re: Tonight, Flowered Police Horningsea

I'll be out tonight.

Re: Tonight, Flowered Police Horningsea

Me and Alison (grammar, Timothy, grammar) will be out. Paradoxically, we will NOT be doing a Dom but will ride home from the pub...
