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.

The Dyke's End, Reach

Anyone riding tonight,

Re: The Dyke's End, Reach

i'm up for seeing if we can reach the dykes end.

Re: The Dyke's End, Reach

Sadly not, it looks like a perfect day for a summer's ride but doctor's orders are that I avoid vigorous exercise and alcohol for a while. More anon. I am rapidly accruing more excuses than PT but this one is genuine. I have pills and everything.

Re: The Dyke's End, Reach

I should be out tonight. I will be doing vigorous exercise and consuming a modest amount of alcohol.

Tony, is Patience Strong your doctor? That's what all this globetrotting does for you. It'll be cold showers next...

PT
