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.

Connington tonight

So the plan is to go to Connington tonight, the weather looks great and a cunning route has been formulated.

See you all at Brookside later.

Re: Connington tonight

Suits me, as I was struggling to think of a good route to Wilbraham that didn't repeat most of last week's route to Bottisham.

I assume you mean Conington near Elsworth and not Conington south of Peterborough (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conington)?

Re: Connington tonight

Good for me. I'm ready for another go after my debut last week.
