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 out for a ride tonight?

Re: tonight

Yep, I'll be riding.

Re: tonight

I'm hoping to be out too.

Re: tonight

@Mike

Did you record last night's ride on your GPS? If you have, could I have the track data please?

Cheers!

Re: tonight

Hi Riann,

Yep, I have it. This is it on Strava: http://www.strava.com/activities/182630369 – it also includes a bit extra at the start where I looped out to Coton before the meet.

I can download a gpx file of it from Strava, but apparently it won't respect my privacy zones and I'd rather not put a file on Dropbox that leads right to my front door! I'll try to have a look tonight and see if I can find a way to edit the route (I've never really done much with making and following routes).

Re: tonight

Thanks, the privacy concerns are understood -- it's not bright to tell everybody where to get a mountain bike.

Re: tonight


Puncture twat will be out tonight after a long self-imposed ban, and sends his apologies in advance.
