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

Re: Caption Competition

"I thought we all agreed we woudn't bring any children with us?"

Re: Caption Competition

"Anyone for Dorking?"
"I'm sure that's illegal..."

Re: Caption Competition

"Smile if you're going to vote for me as 'boring bastard of the year' in the cammtb Christmas awards'" (for that massive post on socks)

Re: Caption Competition

@ Dom and Paul: Re Claire's post; that is uncanny.

Re: Caption Competition

Sir Ranulph Fiennes takes a picture of another group of explorers he meets during his 'Coldest Journey' Antarctica expedition, having lost his compass and borrowed Dom's Garmin.

Re: Caption Competition

Curious where this was taken? (presuming its the photo on the forum homepage)

Re: Caption Competition

Hi Wes

The North Downs, somewhere near Leith Hill (somewhere round here) - in fact it may even be at the top of Leith Hill for all I know. I'm sure someone will put me right.

It was during the 'CamMTB AwayDay' a couple of weeks ago -this thread was about it,

Dom

Re: Caption Competition

I'll put you right Dom- it was actually Holmbury Hill.

So Wes, not a local hill which has eluded your search
