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.

A foray into the forest tonight


I was planning to make the trip to Thetford tonight but it's rather quiet here on the forum, so perhaps I could be going solo? Not even a suggestion of 'staying local', so where is everyone?

Decisions decisions....

Am tempted by a forest ride but am also tempted by beer. How and when do plan to get there Richard and would you want a lift?

Tony,

I'm not desperate to go up to Thetford, I just haven't been there for a while. If I was going, I can drive myself and I'd be there for an 8pm start.

With so few people having posted (and all at the same time by the looks of it!) I think it prudent to be sociable by doing the local ride, followed by beer of course Plus, there are bound to be a few who haven't consulted the forum and assume it's a normal ride night anyway.

I'm up for a Thetford Ride if anyone else is going?

I'll be leaving home around 645pm. Have room for one more if needs be.
