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: Lakes weekend 15th/16th July


It's a while since I originally posted about this Lakes weekend, but just to confirm it's definitely on. If anyone else wants to join myself, PeteF, Rick, Barry, Paul Digard, Dom & Alison and maybe Andy & Anna, please drop me an email and I'll add you to the distribution for full details.

We're staying in Coniston, Paul's in a B&B, the rest of us are camping. Two days of classic Lake District mountain biking planned, should be a great weekend!
