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.

Piriton? Ahhh...blissssssss!
After last Thursday's ride through the nettly overgrowth and subsequent mosquito attack in the pub garden, Piriton came to my rescue.

However, I have other entertainment planned tonight - I'm attending a production of "Pirates of the Curry Bean" at Over School - my son is keeping up the family tradition and playing a rat.

Laters; Thurs.

Re: There's a Red house over yonder

Did you guys get wet last night-not been offroad for ages so did a solo up the Roman Road to linton----in the woods near the water tower the rain was pelting down, the trees gave virtually no cover, water was running through there like a river-thought I would drown, never ridden in rain like it. Only lasted 30 mins or so then showery home.

Duncan changed his plans. I went out alone. Got home twenty minutes after the rain started. It was pretty heavy. The trails are waterlogged in places. Very messy indeed.
