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.

Paging Tony, Re Epping

Hi Tony Tiger, As you mentioned to me the other evening that you rode in epping forest, as you know that I ride with a social group epping over 35's, they start at Bury rd Chingford at 11am on a saturday.There are somewhere between 20/30 riders nothing serious and always stop for lunch at Bradley's snack bar for tea and sausage/bacon butties or Highgate pub in epping, the ride is normally 20ish miles and return between 15.30/16.00. If your interested in having a blast and getting to know some fun intersting guys and gals, and some sweet single track let me know and you can come down with me one weekend. Cheers Shelton.
