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.

Summer Polaris Challenge: Partner Needed

I'm riding in this summer's Polaris Challenge in the Peak District between 11th and 13th June. My usual partner is unavailable because he has a family do to go to.

Would anyone like to keep me company?

It's a brilliant event with 2 days of riding - 7 hours on day one and 5 hours on day 2. It is an orienteering event, returning to base camp after the first day's riding. There's a bar, food and a band on the Saturday evening.

Give me a call or email if you're keen. See www.polarischallenge.com/ for more details on the event.
