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.

The Bear is back in town

Marc 'the Bear' is back in cambridge for a few days and will spending sunday afternoon from noon onwards in the Cambridge Blue and would welcome any CAM Mtbers to come along for a drink or 2 and to chat about old times like when mountain mayhem was dry and sunny or when we had to escort a fellow Cam MTBer wearing a pink tutu into A&E!

Re: The Bear is back in town

Wendy and Luc are around as well! I am going to see them at lunch 1pm at Giraffe if anyone fancies it! I will tell them about the Bear meet up.

We are off to the Alps tomorrow though so won't be able to make it.

Re: The Bear is back in town

Simon - if I don't make it (Legoland may be on Sunday's agenda), please give The Bear my best wishes. He is greatly missed.

Claire - ditto for Luc and Wendy.

Tom

Unfortunately we will be away this weekend, but please pass on my best wishes to the bear.
