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.

Xmas dinner update

I went to the Castle on Saturday.

There will not be a Christmas menu, just the whatever is available menu. I suggested that I could collect pre-orders if that would make life easier in the kitchen but they declined that offer and said we could order food when we order drinks. Here's hoping it all goes according to plan.

Aim for a 7.30 start and anticipate a bit of faffing around (just like usual, eh Tom?)

Re: Xmas dinner update

Hi Tony,
I`m sorry but I have to drop out of the xmas meal as something has cropped up at the last minute and I can no longer make it. Hope you all have a great meal and see you soon. If I owe anything please let me know.

David.
