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.

Re: Next week

Ha ha!
Sounds like a dump…

Re: Next week

I'll swap it over:
Tuesday - Blue Lion (closed)
Thursday - Milton Sewage Works

I was thinking we could head for the skip full of rag that gets screened out at the inlet works. Wet wipe and nappy city! First prize if you find some dentures. Gold star if you return them to their owner!

Re: Next week

Now changed.

I also found two other nights we were heading for Hardwick so have changed them to the Blue Ball, Grantchester.
