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: June 4th

Weather looks good tonight, chance of rain sometime after 9pm

Re: June 4th

I'll be out. Will decide upon choice of tyres (and hence bike) nearer the time.

PT

Re: June 4th

Yes. See you tonight.

Re: June 4th

Don't forget to bring a beer with you (or two)!

Re: June 4th

Give me a location and time for a beer - I may turn up, socially distanced for a quickie.

Given that you're going my way.

Re: June 4th

Norm, what about on the byway out to the 1198 (this side) under the trees somewhere at about 8:15

Re: June 4th

Sounds like a plan ! towards the Red House, but not quite there.
