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.

anyone up for a pootle to Barton tonight?

Mrs Lyons and I are planning on pootling to the pub this evening. We will probably head there independently but will hopefully catch up with the rest of you for a beer or two at the pub.

Is there a preference for the Hoops or the White Horse? If you divert to the White Horse please let me know.

Re: anyone up for a pootle to Barton tonight?

I'm planning to ride through the gales tonight. No preference for the pub, I don't think I've been to The Hoops so I don't know what it's like

Re: anyone up for a pootle to Barton tonight?

I'll be out. Would prefer to try out the Hoops.

Re: anyone up for a pootle to Barton tonight?

Not out this week (that may come as no surprise to many of you)

Hopefully see you next week.

Play nicely...
