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.

Je suis sur échantillon de pâte slappie

Re: White Horse, Barton

Well, Google Translate gives "I'm on pulp sample slappie" and Babelfish comes up with "I'm on sample of block slappie", so I'm not really any the wiser. What I can say is that Alison and I are thinking very serioulsy indeed about coming out to play tonight.

Re: White Horse, Barton

Also thinking about coming out to play tonight but accuweather is telling me snow & rain from 6pm......

Re: White Horse, Barton

On the other hand, The Weather Channel shows precipitation at 0% until midnight. You pays yer money and you takes yer choice!

Re: White Horse, Barton

I should be out.

Bad translator (on a setting of 35) gives a translation of "Nature and history" and I think we can probably all agree with that.

Re: White Horse, Barton


Planning to ride tonight.

Re: White Horse, Barton

Hopefully will make it tonight-pretty sure there's a teeny bit of an insult in there somewhere-definitely lost in translation though.

Re: White Horse, Barton

i shall join you for a bimble

Re: White Horse, Barton

I'll be out, but after last Thursday's mud-fest, will have to take it a little easier if similar conditions are encountered. My right knee hasn't been the same since.

Hopefully the mud will be slightly less sticky.....

Pete

PS Do we need to get to the White Horse a little earlier than normal - I seem to remember it had closed last time, and we reverted to the Hoops?

Re: White Horse, Barton

Good ride last night. Slightly sore head this morning after that IPA Reserve...

Duncan, you seemed very keen on cheesecake last night. Is it the base you like, the biscuit base, the buttery biscuit base that you like?
