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.

Tonight

Weather looks good from 4 onwards !!
Anyone around for a 'search out the drier trails type ride' ending at Hairy Hounds or Three Horse shoes or Blue Ball or Queen Adelaide?

Re: Tonight

Dry trail? Holy Grail! Nice if you can find it so I'm up for that.

Need a pub choice for those cycling in from the pub -Hairy Hounds sounds good if they're open, 3HS if not.

Re: Tonight

In the mean time, please can everyone email
