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: Christmas Dinner update

Thanks Tony,

I'll also cycle - some nice frozen off road sections to tackle on the way.

Re: Christmas Dinner update

Even though we are all hardy MTBers, beware that the countryside starts at the Coton Footpath. At the town / Adams Road end it is all OK-ish, getting less fancy the further you go. One fellow hardy MTBer took a hardy tumble on the stretch of road in front of our house.

Re: Christmas Dinner update

What time are you setting off Tony, 6:45?
I’m cycling too.
Thinking safety in numbers.

Re: Christmas Dinner update

some time around 6.30-6.45

I was pondering whether a largely off-road route would be a wise choice. I expect the Coton-Madingley 'road' will be very icy if it is closed to through traffic.

Anyone know what it's like...?

Re: Christmas Dinner update

Off road route and Christmas meal.
This year is looking up.
I will contact you nearer the time to meet up if that is ok.
Shame I have do the family one on Saturday

Re: Christmas Dinner update

Tony/Pat let me know where and when. I'm cycling from Kings Hedges and might join you.
