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.

Swanning around this evening? Heck, Quy not?

Anyone out tonight? Quarter past five and no posters? Or even small A4 flyers?

Alison and I will be doing a Dom in from Quy. Who knows, later on we may even get to ride with the nearly-birthday-boy!

Indeed. Sounds like a fen time for all.

I shall mostly be working on formatting the summer runslist and tending to my ill wife.

Not sure if I'm out Thursday either - I need to be fresh for the mosh-pit at the Walk Off The Earth gig on Friday night!

At least I know I won't be nearly-celebrating on my own

I attempted to ride, however my peddle decided to self destruct while ridding past B&Q. Turns out there is an issue with PD-M985 spindles - The end snaps off after a bit. Nice feature! Anyway might pop along to the pub later.
