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.

Hi Luke,
Yes Dr Paul and myself will be out on Tuesday which he tells me is going to be to Grantchester. Conditions are getting better and better due to the lack of rain and descent wind drying the open fields.

Re: Tuesday or Thursday night ride?

Splendid, I should be staying in a hotel near the railway station. Looking at your map its not to far away from the meeting point, I'll charge my lights and see you on tuesday.
