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.

Looks quiet today. Thought I'd take the opportunity to say I'm not out. Anyone else not out?

Re: tumbleweed

I was planning to be not not out (if that makes sense), so if anyone's up for a ride I'm keen.

Re: tumbleweed

I'll just do the Roman Road, and I'll stop at the Pear Tree if somebody texts me, and it's open...

I'll have my 'off-bike', 0788 phone with me. (Check contact list emailed out for details...)

Re: tumbleweed

I wasn't out tonight either. (Confined to Barracks) Was going to post to advise early arrival at the ancient shepherds as they are known to close well early if no trade. But Riaan heading for the Pear Tree? Thought that closed ages ago?
