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.

Tonite??

Re: Tonite??

looks at bike.......needs a wash.....why not, im up for a paddle

Re: Tonite??

it was very pleasant on Tuesday.

Not out tonight as I shall be mostly drinking red wine in Parma (in the rain)

Re: Tonite??

If the rain ceases, I'll be out. Quick check on the rain radar suggests it might.

Re: Tonite??

Probably. Possibly.

Re: Tonite??

Fuck off...it's raining!

Re: Tonite??

I think that should read "Pedicabo off ... suus 'compluentem"

Re: Tonite??

Nope - I'm wimping out - rain looks here to stay for the evening

Re: Tonite??

Working late so probably not out after all.

Re: Tonite??

Reyndar, eins og þeir segja sjaldan á Íslandi: Fjandinn burt ... það er rigning!

Re: Tonite??

Aftur í kassann þinn, Erik

Re: Tonite??

Well the good news is all last weeks mud washed off with all the "weather" out there.
Bad news is I have a new set of mud to ignore for a week.

So this year do I get the "billy no mates" award? As it was just. Me, myself and I.

Re: Tonite??

I prefer to call it 'Riding with my best friend'

Re: Tonite??

Isn't that a euphemism for something, Duncan?


@Pat - no award as it's happened to others before, including me in Thetford Forest all on my own. Now, if you've gone out on your own, fallen off by crashing into yourself and then bought a full round in the pub for all the attendees, then we could, I'm sure, cook up an award for that!
