DISCLAIMER. MOUNTAIN BIKING CAN BE DANGEROUS. YOU JOIN US AT YOUR OWN RISK.

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.

Thetford Winter Series round 1

Hello all

With some trepidation, and at the prompting of Dave (Bennison), I've entered this coming weekend's round of TWS. Dave did the fun class last year and has stepped up to the grown-ups, so I'm joining him for what will no doubt be muddy fun. Well, muddy anyway...

Anyone else riding?

Dom

Re: Thetford Winter Series round 1

I'll be there, along with a number of CCC folks.

Re: Thetford Winter Series round 1

See you there Dom, I trust you are doing the 4 hr race.

Re: Thetford Winter Series round 1

Indeed, and I'll also be running a full marathon in scuba gear including flippers immediately afterwards...

Re: Thetford Winter Series round 1

I will be there too.

Sounds awesome combining it with scuba marathon. If someone have the gear ready I will join after the 4 hr mud race.

Re: Thetford Winter Series round 1

I was there Sunday and rode most of the trails around FR6- they were pretty dry- considering it poured down that morning. If it stays reasonable the rest of the week it should be ok. Here's hoping!

Re: Thetford Winter Series round 1

I am going too! (2hr)
