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.

Hairy Hounds toooooonite

I'm up for a bimble this evening - anyone else?

Given the nature of some of the ground conditions (think - The Somme) perhaps we should look for something a bit firmer this evening - any ideas?

Re: Hairy Hounds toooooonite

A couple of clear contenders for my own dossier of other riders' excuses.

And on that subject, something's come up which may delay or prevent me from coming out tonight.

If I'm not there by the usual time please go without me.
