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.

It's a red house, but it's not full of ladies of the night.

Anyway, i'm riding tonight. Stop is the Red House in Longstowe.

Ah - Forum working again.

Craving a pint of Guinness, and a cycle ride.

I'll be out.

Yes, Bravenet finally took their subs from my credit card - not sure why they suspended the forum, probably a timing issue.

Great ride, 4 closed pubs but saved by 2 pints at The Maypole.
I think if we do want to do a city pub, after tonight The Maypole works, no issues with parking bikes within sight.
From now on we will have to call the proposed pub to give them a heads up on our visit and take things from there apparently the increased energy bills and upto 60% less custom is killing them.... Hence early closing. 🙁
