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.

Larger tree branches moving, whistling in wires

Force 5-6 winds predicted but its going to be dry - who's up for some exercise tonight?

Re: Larger tree branches moving, whistling in wires

Well, due to what feels like about two months of continuous festivity, I feel like a tub of lard, but if you can put up with a slow tub of lard, I'll be hoisting my storm stays'l and donning a sou'wester...

It's definitely a night for the committed, so I'm staying in...
Out Thursday if I can keep my hair on.

Re: Larger tree branches moving, whistling in wires

For anyone staying in with nothing else to do, and for Eco who clearly has an interest, you could try this...

That fence needs a couple of coats of captain creosote (mix it 10/1 with used engine oil for a lasting shimmer)
