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.

Thursday 4th Aug

I'm going to join you on Thursday for my first ride, and as I'm coming from Ely, where would be the best place to park the car. Years ago there was a car park very near to the meeting place, but I would imagine this has long been gone.

Looking forward to meeting you all on Thursday.

Car parking

Hi Jon

You are correct, the car park is long gone. Car arrivals generally park in the surrounding streets. There are no fines etc at 7.30 p.m.
Alternatively, some park at the destination pub, and cycle in to the start.
Remember lights and helmet.

See you tomorrow night.
