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.

Show us yours 2............. Train to Baldock & back the short way !!

The Covern have duly agreed to let me lead a ride (for once)
So wanted to leave it til today due to the lush weather we are currently experiencing, but Mr BBC, he say yeah !!
Cambridge station 18.55, Foxton 19.05, Shepreth 19.07 etc etc I THINK THAT THIS TRAIN POSS DOES NOT STOP AT SHELFORD(for obvious reasons) Arrives 19.25
Do the shorter, straighter, off road leisurely route (north of the A505) back to The Blue Ball/Green man in Grantchester.

Any takers....please ?

Re: Show us yours 2............. Train to Baldock & back the short way !!

Yep, count me in. I'll choose my station depending upon time, but I'll aim for Cambridge.

Cheers

OK, OK, I'll come! Cambridge station at 18.55 for me.

Have a good ride tonight. My bike is still lying in pieces all over my flat waiting for a bearing. Must obtain simpler bike.
