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.

Cam MTB Xmas Dinner

Fellow cyclists,

The Castle public house is fully booked with a large party of teachers on the proposed evening of our shindig - Thursday 13 December. They do have availability the following week - Thursday 20 December - and i've provisionally booked this slot with a view to eating at 8pm. I said I would get back to the good natured Landlord early next week to confirm. Let me know if anyone has any signficant reason why the 20th December is a problem. Eeks

Re: Cam MTB Xmas Dinner

Alas I can't make the 20th, as my brother-in-law is getting married far away ...but don't change on my account.

Re: Cam MTB Xmas Dinner

Sounds good to me Eco but I can be flexible and accomodating. Ask Pasty Tom after our night in the Dales...

Re: Cam MTB Xmas Dinner

Can I come please? I will try and be on my best behaviour.

It was a chilly night, Tony. People will, one day, be broadminded enough to understand why we had to share a sleeping bag.

By the way, the 20th looks OK for the Xmas meal. I wouldn't want to be there anyway with all those teachers. It's their own time they're wasting.

Too much detail, Tony and PT...

I'll be in South Africa at that time, so I can't make it, sorry.

Re: Cam MTB Xmas Dinner

Hi Eco

20th good for us - Alison and I will be there in our pomp. (It's the new Alfa Romeo. )

Re: Cam MTB Xmas Dinner

I couldn't make the 13th so 20th sounds perfect!

Re: Cam MTB Xmas Dinner

Re: Cam MTB Xmas Dinner

Unfortunately I can't do the 20th due to a clash.
