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.

WAGN's role - Thursday's route

Hey all

It occurred to me that a potential problem might be if (for whatever reason), I don't make it onto the train. So to avoid a dozen or so CamMTBers ending up at Elsenham with no idea of where to go next, I've annotated screenshots of OS maps with the route plan and uploaded the jpgs onto Google Docs.

A folder with the 8 files should be reachable here:

Otherwise the individual pics are here:

Sorry, I can't be arsed to turn all these into clickable URLS!

It would be good if at least one other person doing the long ride printed these out and brought them along.

The route goes as far as Little Walden - once there we've got choices depending on time and energy and enough people will know where they are by then!

See you later!
