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.

Not out tonight

I'm not out tonight. Is anyone else doing anything more interesting?

Re: Not out tonight

I should be out on the bike this evening. No idea where we are going however...

Re: Not out tonight

Ooh, a thread I can add to! Am doing a private 10m team time trial on the Barton / Arrington roundabout / Barton course. It’s a practice for Saturday morning. I’m looking forward to when it’s over....

Re: Not out tonight

Planning to ride tonight, had better endeavour to arrive at Arrington before Pete T has drunk it dry.

Re: Not out tonight

Pressed the quote button by mistake..now sitting out a heavy rain shower prior to setting out. Beginning to think no one is out tonight!
