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.

I intend to be out riding

Re: Tonight, watch a bunch of riders knocking six bells out of the glorious mud !

I'm hoping to pop along.

But did realize on the way in this morning that the tyres I've been using over the summer aren't the best in the (glorious?) mud. So I'll see how it goes, and might pop off early if I'm slipping around too much!

Won't be out, but Happy Birthday Paul!

Re: Tonight, watch a bunch of riders knocking six bells out of the glorious mud !

should be out but probably on small wheels as i don't have mud tyres for the big wheeler

Re: Tonight, watch a bunch of riders knocking six bells out of the glorious mud !

Not going to make it tonight after an unfortunate encounter with another bike this afternoon - got t-boned by someone who looked remarkably like Rory McGrath and my knee is rather sore now...

The Six Bells should be within range of my town bike so will see you later]

Re: Tonight, watch a bunch of riders knocking six bells out of the glorious mud !

Paul, are you sure it was Rory? It sounds much more like Pablo to me...

Nope, middle aged caucasian male, wild curly hair, beard, English accent. And brakes/reaction times no better than mine...
