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.

Happy New Year ride tonight?

Happy New Year all! You're probably up only if you're still partying or if you have children... Anyone planning on riding tonight - I've got some holiday food to ride off. Is the Blue Ball even open? Hope to see some of you soon!

The BB is open - at least it was when I drove by at 4 this afternoon.

Hi I'm new, I fancy a ride tonight. Anyone going? Cheers Clare Allen

Re: Happy New Year ride tonight?

I'm going tonight. See you there. I'm newish, but can probably construct a route of some sort if we are short of old timers!

Re: Happy New Year ride tonight?

It's true! There really is ANOTHER Clare, or is this another another Clare?
Are there any girls who ride a mountain bike round cambridge not called Claire/Clare?
