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.
  • Don't ride too close to the person in front. If they crash into a badger, you'll need time to swerve.

Waggoner and horses

Anyone care to join me tonight, but only if you can spare the time off from the caption contest.

Bowsey is a constant source of inspiration in this field!!!

Re: Waggoner and horses

A bit uncertain tonight, Pat.

Got some urgent stuff to finish off at home before I come out so I may not make the start...don't wait.

I may make it to the pub....

Not sure - teenage daughter with a coursework crisis may take precedence. If I'm not out I'll see you in a couple of weeks - next week I are mostly be enjoying the charms of Sarajevo.

Hi Pat

I'll be out, now to have a look at those captions....!
