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.

A big thank you to Adrian and Tom

Great evening last night and good to see so many of you there.

Re: A big thank you to Adrian and Tom

Here Here. Good show.

Did I bang on about politics for too long? apologies to those around me if I did.

Clicked on Facebook, but where else would the thank-yous be happening?

If I don't see you at Brookside before: Happy Christmas all

Re: A big thank you to Adrian and Tom

AND the beer was good.

Thanks all. What time did it finish?

Re: A big thank you to Adrian and Tom

Thankyou, glad we got it organized and had a good turn out. Lovely stuff! Eagerly anticipating the parachute demonstration on next year's Over ride!

Re: A big thank you to Adrian and Tom

Yep, thanks Adrian and Tom. It apparently was a good night. I got to bed about 1.00 and over-ran my 10 o'clock safety buffer for getting to work.

Re: A big thank you to Adrian and Tom

Yah, Thankyou Never the Wain and Travis Pasteyrama for a thoroughly great evening...liking the low key version.

Great evening, thanks to Adrian for very efficient organisation and to Pasty for the after dinner entertainment

Re: A big thank you to Adrian and Tom

yes. a really good night. Thanks hugely to Adrian, Tom and all the rest of the organisers.

AFAIK, it ended when Duncan and I failed to get a pint in the Blue Ball at about 11:57 and we got a taxi home.
