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.

Bell, Balsham?

Anyone planning on riding tonight? I hope to be out.

If we're going to the Bell, we could do the route we did last summer to West Wratting - Fulbourne, Heath tracks to Westley Bottom, then footpaths to Six Mile Bottom and across to the Icknield Way?

Re: Bell, Balsham?

not out tonight, but should see you at the Rose on Thursday.
Are you hoping the Rose will be open for a beer on our return? Could be a bit of a long shot...

Re: Bell, Balsham?

I'll be out tonight. Hopefully we won't encounter any civil unrest on our travels.
