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.

I am off to South Wales to ride Afan, Breacon Beacons and cwmcarn for a bit of fun on the last day.
Claire and Ade may join me for a day but I wondered whether any of you guys may wish to join me.
Aim is to travel on Thursday eve and stay in either Cymmer of Glyncorrwg. There a quite a few good bike friendly B&B's around there. I intend to book accomodation pretty soon, so if you are interested, I would like to know this week.
For all those relative newbees who do not know me, nowadays I am the resident stalker who thinks he is a mountainbiker but seems to spend a disproportionate amount of time on a road bike 
No seriously, it has been a while since the last Cammtb weekender, a few years back, we seemed to have one every few months.
