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.

Duncan! I am flipping knackered

I didn't get in til 11:30, without stopping at the pub!

Paul do you have mileage and route for last night.

I think that is the longest Cammtb ride I have ever done, I hope Harry got back OK and was not put off ever riding again.

Re: Duncan! I am flipping knackered

Also! I have looked at a map and it has confirmed my suspicions...on what planet is Comberton on the way back to Fulbourn from Orwell?

Re: Duncan! I am flipping knackered

Got home, ate pasta, collapsed. Only half an hour late for work this morning.

Great ride though - looking forward to the next one!

And thanks to whoever donated the gel. Don't think I would have made it back without it...

Re: Duncan! I am flipping knackered

i did 40 miles door to door so you will have done a few more Claire!

Have emailed you a gpx file with the route in....

Re: Duncan! I am flipping knackered

When will you learn not to trust Duncan, last week he suggested an extra 3 mile loop and it took us about an hour and everyone's GPS's seemed to make it an extra 8 mile loop....luckily we all enjoyed the extra loop

Re: Duncan! I am flipping knackered

Sorry......... thought it was weather, small group, etc etc etc
