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.

Re: Anyone up for showing us their’s this evening?

I'll be out but alas I'm a simple follower with no route to offer.:grimacing:

Re: Anyone up for showing us their’s this evening?

I may be about, subject to various aches, pains and bottom bracket issues.

Do you have a destination pub in mind Paul?

Re: Anyone up for showing us their’s this evening?

I’ll be out too but like Vid I am a much better follower than route leader - lots of sweet single track would be nice - oh!! I forgot we live in Cambridge ;)

in case anyone was wondering.... in this instance T.E. means Training Effort.
