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.

Pat's big tool

Hi Pat, in the pub the other night you said I could use your big tool (or was that the beer talking?) An inch and a quarter should do if you can spare it

drop me a line so I can arrange to drop by.

Re: Pat's big tool

Hi tony, if you need my big tool that is no problem.
It is sat next to the door for when you want it.
I don't set off for work till about 8:40 so if you want to bang on the door on the way past it is number 62.
I will be at home from about 5:30 tomorrow evening, but I'm out on Wednesday night and also Thursday night......and I don't think you want ride with my tool in your pack on Thursday, it's a whopper.

Re: Pat's big tool

Oooerr! Matron!

Some might say that the bigger tool is the one carrying the pack, rather than the one in it.

Boom-tish!! OH YES!! I'm here 'til Thursday, try the veal!


....I'll get my coat.
