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.

Come on u tight buggers...... someone must have some to lend .... bowes ! !

Re: borrow lights for thurs ride?

I never saw your post - I'm sorry! I had given up! I would be up for riding this thursday if I could borrow then? I did WS4 - my back is in agony!

Re: borrow lights for thurs ride?

Laura,

Since no-one else has posted already I will.

I'm fairly lightless myself and I'm hoping my LED Lumies make it back from their workshop in time for the Thursday ride.

Assuming that the workshop comes good, I do have some Lumie halogen lamps - 12W spot and 20W flood - if you can source a charged (at least) 12V battery from someone else.

Re: borrow lights for thurs ride?

sorry i haven't got a spare set of lights at the mo as they are attached to mu commuter bike.
I also rode WS4 and suffered too, sounds like we will have something to chat about on thursday.
if you fancy re-living the race i have posted a few links for a vid i did of the first lap in the 4 hour race.

Re: borrow lights for thurs ride?

Thank you - does anyone else have a 12V battery? I really do want to come along.

Loan battery

Laura, I'm not riding tonight but could lend you a battery if you are able to collect it. If this an option give me a ring (07734 050250) or email me (address in link below).
