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.

Temperatures around freezing with a moderate northerly breeze

Perfect conditions for a bimble to the Hoops. I might wear my coat though.

Anyone else out? Due to lack of match-fitness, I'm happy to lead a 'slow and sociable' sub-group...

Duncan, what are you like? remember to keep your {trusty} steed under control tonight as Tom has requested a slooow ride, though im up for that but as long as we make it to the pub at a sensible drinking time.

Re: Temperatures around freezing with a moderate northerly breeze

Ideal conditions in my book (Slow sociable ride led by Pasty, and too cold for mud..... although doubtless some will be found , just for me)
