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.

Oh, I'm quite proud of the current one..... It shows my caring side!
Cant we at least have
'Tenues et stringere vagantur fefellitus brevis & robustus vacillate foras'
as our mission statement/motto?

Re: New Phorum Foto Required

Okay, so starting to loose my confidence in Google translate.....

'Thin and short and stout string wander in. stagger out'

Possibly not quite the same thing.... but maybe more correct ?!?

Re: New Phorum Foto Required


Thin agus Baile Átha Troim wander siad isteach Gearr & Stout stagger siad amach

Has a certain ring to it?
