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.

Re: Granny chester

It's a little-known fact that James Joyce wrote Ulysses by talking to himself on a mountain-biking forum...

Re: Granny chester

or that Billie Rae Calvin wrote Rose Royces' wishing on a star on a downhill forum

Re: Granny chester

I'm as confused as usual, is anyone planning on riding tonight?

I fancy a gentle bimble to stretch the legs after Sunday.

Re: Granny chester

Clearly not as confused as Duncan - our very own poster boy for the Drinkaware Trust.

I shall be mostly observing offspring doing some painfully dull acting type thing this evening but will be out Thursday all things being well.
