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.

new(ish) singletrack

I've cleared out some old singletrack in the Fulbourn Nature Reserve. One bit starts just on the left at the main entrance, and the connects to another bit if you cross the road where it ends and ride over the (fallen) wire fence. Its ain't much, perhaps 300 metres in total, but its something more than bridleways. It needs to be used to 'bed in', but its fun already! There is one smallish jump/log pile and a few tricky off camber sections and one really short-steep section that you can practice technical skills on. You can loop it together with the other paths and bridleways around fulbourn for a loop. (I like heading out the Roman Road and then taking Fleam Dyke back past the wind turbines and ending with the singletrack.

oh, and I also cleared out the 'bail out' to the right of the stairs at the Fulbourn end of Fleam Dyke for those who don't want to ride or walk down the stairs!

I don't know how to post photos, but I can send some of where to find the sections if those with rights can post them.
