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.

Thursday 1st December

Runs List says Queen's Head in Fowlmere. Computer says no. Apparently it is closed down but the Chequers is open - until 10pm. Green Man in Thriplow is open but it isn't clear how late.

Anyone out for a mystery tour in that general direction?

I plan to ride. Re: Thursday 1st December

See you later

Moi. It's about the right time of year for a fall sideways into a puddle.

Re: Thursday 1st December

You should have come out last week Norm. Far more opportunities to fall off into a puddle.

Re: Thursday 1st December

Think I should make it, but will take it easy after my flu jab and see you at the pub.

Not tonight, still working... Why are people so scared of a 2 degree drop in the temperature.....
