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.

Who would win...?

You've all had similar conversations, "Who would win a fight between three otters and a panda?"

We now have a definitive answer to one such question. Badgers beat Lyons, hands down. Literally.

(it would be the otters)

Re: Who would win...?

Solid things those badgers, clearly doesn’t pay to hit one at speed!

Not sure I’d want to hit an otter or a panda either for that matter

Re: Who would win...?

it would be the otters

Apparently they are as hard as nails.

Re: Who would win...?

just watch out for the Badgers psychotic cousin!

Anyone else extracting their mudguards from summer storage for this evening? We might even find another badger.
