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.

Tonight and Xmas Meal Date

Hi All,

Unless things change, I'm due to go to Swavesey Village College open evening with my son this evening so I've had to cancel my cycling ( )

What I wanted to do was to canvass folks upon their preferred dates for the Xmas meal - 14th or 16th December.

Personally, I prefer the 16th (Thursday) because it's closer to the weekend and I don't mind staying out so late. What are your preferences? We'll go with the majority, unless the majority says Tuesday

Once we know the date, we can book a suitable pub.

Regards

TOM

Foxton Tonight and Xmas Meal Date

I'll be out riding tonight, and both proposed Christmas dinner dates are good as far as I am concerned. The Castle has been excellent for the past few years. it gets my vote. Cheers Tom R
