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.
  • Don't ride too close to the person in front. If they crash into a badger, you'll need time to swerve.

Tuesday 20th

After much talk about Thursdays ride...

What are we doing Tuesday? Are we still doing a train? Or should we go from brookside?

Given the gorgeous weather and long daylight I'm quite wanting a long ride and a late opening pub.

My intention is to go to Elsenham on the 18:51(18:56 at Shelford) and ride back to the Green Man at
Thriplow.

Anyone else up for it?

Re: Tuesday 20th

Re: Tuesday 20th

Hi Quintin, you are more than welcome to join us. The aim is to get the 18:51 and assemble in Elsenham at 19:21 for the ride back. I will catch the train in Shelford.
See you later
Paul

Re: Tuesday 20th

Looks like we have a commitment clash at home...

I might ride to the pub in Thriplow and meet you, but I might not. Enjoy the ride anyway !
