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.

Tuesday night rides...

So tell me about tuesday's.. Pace much different to Thursday?? Really enjoyed the Thursday ride, am looking to get back to 2 rides per mid-week but my navigational skills are rather lacking at this point in time so lost and cold are rather likely conclusions until I gain a better bearing around Cambridge!!

Cheers.

Re: Tuesday night rides...

I think there was supposed to be a difference between the speed of Tuesdays and Thursdays at one point but not any more...

Having said that the pace can vary depending on who's out. Without wanting to start up THAT whole argument again, I find that even if I am slowest people seem willing to wait...

Re: Tuesday night rides...

That seems to be the general opinion, but don't want to be holding everyone up twice each week

Re: Tuesday night rides...

Thing is, if you ride twice a week, you will soon find you aren't holding anyone up any more....

So, we have Claire with an 'i',
Clare without an 'i',
Is everyone clear?

Anyhow, Claire is right.
