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.

English course and Mountain Bike

Hi everybody, I'm Lorenzo. I'm posting from Italy.
Between 22 and 31 July I will be in Cambridge. I would like to improve my spoken English with other people with similar interests. I will rent a bike in the city. I'm not a great biker but I like mtb world very much. The questions are:
- Can someone suggest me where I can rent an hardtail or trail bike?
- Do you know if there are mtb courses or some off road rides when I am in Cambridge?
- Would one or more of you be available to guide me 4 or 5 afternoons (or mornings) through the off-road paths near cambridge?

Thank you in advance, Lorenzo
