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.

Adnams Mild

What a beer! Four pints, drunk enough to visit the obelisk after the pub (see photo, not a euphemism) and yet no hangover today.

Fairy Coven - please put the Queen's Head on the summer runslist!

Re: Adnams Mild

When I saw the Obelisk, I was reminded of the many trips up there, all associated with Pete being on the beer and claiming it was a fantastic idea and, hey, who wouldn't want to go up.

No surprise to see Pete in the centre-left of the frame gazing longingly upward. Did he ride into the wrong field on the way back down?

Nice to see that there's a decent session beer available in the QHN.
