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: 2nd Nov - my last non-ride

Good plan rich. I'll be along, and may well find a shorter route between the start and the Gn Man

Re: 2nd Nov - my last non-ride

Hi Rich,
i would love to say i can do the ride, but that week i'm migrating a DataCentre in London and can't guarantee i will make it back in time for the ride...... but i will do my best to make it to the green man for last orders!

only for one drink though, as i need to be back on the train to London at 6:53am
:(

Not me after all. Am down in darkest essex turbo training. But will be there in spirit...more like red wine actually. Have a good one!
