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.

Forum Photographs

At the risk of misusing apostrophes, does anyone have any decent photo's they would like to share on the forum page?

Re: Forum Photographs

I imagine the mayhemers may have a quality giggle image to show & tell

Re: Forum Photographs

I'm hoping so. Weather looks good for them, doesn't it.

Re: Forum Photographs

I think Eco and Simon may have some pics to offer. Just to let you know, they are not going to be sepia tinted; everything really was brown coloured!

Worst ever Mayhem conditions, according to pretty much everyone. Great fun though...

Re: Forum Photographs

Great fun though????

I think your memories may be the ones that are sepia tinted Mark!

Re: Forum Photographs

by the way the only photos I have are on facebook, you can pinch them from there if you want. the others may have more amusing ones, I think I am the only one that took a team photo though.

Re: Forum Photographs

I think he's lying too Dom.

Mark, I heard you say "Why am I doing this?" many times!

Re: Forum Photographs

I just looked at your Facebook photo's of the event....YUK! Did you have to have so many pictures of Eco?

Re: Forum Photographs

At one point during a lap I pulled a worm out of my rear mech.

Re: Forum Photographs

Great fun my muddy arse - I believe licking piss of a nettle would have been more enjoyable than the "cycling". I did enjoy the company, however, so it wasn't all bad.

Rick, I found a worm in my sleeping bag....
