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.

Red Lion

Anyone else out tonight?
i know we are finishing near the mill pool in Histon so do i need to bring my arm bands and rubber ring this time?

Re: Red Lion

I'll be out. With a proper camera. Tony

Re: Red Lion

I'll be out.

Pat, I'd occurred to me that both Sarah Storey and Jody Cundy were swimmers before taking to competing on two wheels. Are you planning the same in reverse? Or maybe you were expecting a triathlon?

Re: Red Lion

Triathlon is usually swim, bike, run.

In Pat's case I believe it was bike, swim, runs.

Re: Red Lion

I'm hoping to be out as well, provided work allows me out. It'll be the first week ever I'll be out Tuesday and Thursday. So I might be lagging behind even more than usual...

Re: Red Lion

Alison and I plan to be out.

So, Pat, I hear that you can't walk on water?

Re: Red Lion

I'll be roading it so see you at the fest.

Re: Red Lion

Pat, is it right you'll be riding one of these? You'll have to find a friend who's not scared of your reputation - I can see you trying to take this through Harlton woods...

Re: Red Lion

I imagine that pedlo rides just like your bike Dom
