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.

Re: Queen's Head, Newton

Probably!

Re: Queen's Head, Newton

Definitely

Re: Queen's Head, Newton

Yep

Re: Queen's Head, Newton

I'm out - do I need mud tyres yet?

Re: Queen's Head, Newton

Naaah.

At least, I haven't got any on but haven't been out for 3 weeks

Re: Queen's Head, Newton

Yep and yep - that's for me and Alison.

No mud tyres for us - cos I can't be bothered to change them! We'll be fine...

We're 'doing a Dom' and riding in from Newton. Aiming to leave the pub at 6.45-ish.
