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.

OMM bike September?

As mentioned in the pub I'm up for this this year. 9-10 September in the Dales.

Normal Cammtb rules apply. Riding a bike erratically around the countryside and drinking more Ale than is strictly necessary.

Anyone else up for it? Pencil it into your calendar NOW.

I have written it IN INK on my calendar. Luckily, it's the weekend before my son's birthday this year.
