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.

Caption Competition

If I may go first:

1. Mark checks out the latrines: "Simon, I think you've filled this one up."

2. After his sixteenth Vindaloo Pot Noodle, Mark vows "Never again!"

3. Simon: "You can find your own f**king contact lens!"

This year's Glyndebourne Festival was marred by a number of attendees who misunderstood (or wilfully ignored) the strict dress code and arrived with no sign of a Fortnum and Mason hamper.

Re: Caption Competition

Re: Caption Competition

Mark smiled to himself as he realised that his left foot was finally getting warmer as he p***ed down his leg into his welly.

Richard You have shut everyone up with that gem!
Though looking at the photo with that in mind, I can see what you mean.
