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.

Red House, Longstowe

Hi,

Anyone up for riding in the wet to a crap pub run by poofs with no change? Sounds like a "must-do"!

But what about tyre choice? Will my Ralphs be OK in the wet?

LOL

looks like you need the boat shaped ones.

Re: Red House, Longstowe

i'm up for a long one to see the poof's with no change.

i will be mostly rideing a rocket ron on the front and a fast fred on the rear.

i will most likly be doing some strange aerobatics and wearing loads of mud as the back end over takes the front under breaking or brakeing.

Can we add Cloudy Beer to the long list of attractions that this establishment offers?

Thanks for the navigation chaps, next time I will bring a map, honest
