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.

Re: Thursday

Not going to make it to Thetford and not sure I’ll be organised enough to make Brookside by 7:30. Will however endeavour to get to Harlton for a pint if people are heading that way.

Re: Thursday

Yup, I'm going local this evening, much as I love Thetford. I just need to sit in a pub for a while.

PT

Re: Thursday

I'm out 16 and 1/2 miles to the pub

Re: Thursday

I may be out, depends how quickly (and successfully)I reassemble my bike. Don't wait for me beyond my usual late arrival time!

Re: Thursday

I’m going to ride local tonight, but probably won’t stay long in the pub.

Re: Thursday

where as i'm not riding early, but might come to the pub - depends on if I can drag myself our later on !

Re: Thursday

I won't be at the start but will aim for the pub
