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.

Cam MTB Xmas Dinner

Fellow cyclists,

The Castle public house is fully booked with a large party of teachers on the proposed evening of our shindig - Thursday 13 December. They do have availability the following week - Thursday 20 December - and i've provisionally booked this slot with a view to eating at 8pm. I said I would get back to the good natured Landlord early next week to confirm. Let me know if anyone has any signficant reason why the 20th December is a problem. Eeks

Re: Cam MTB Xmas Dinner

Alas I can't make the 20th, as my brother-in-law is getting married far away ...but don't change on my account.

Re: Cam MTB Xmas Dinner

Sounds good to me Eco but I can be flexible and accomodating. Ask Pasty Tom after our night in the Dales...

Re: Cam MTB Xmas Dinner

Can I come please? I will try and be on my best behaviour.

It was a chilly night, Tony. People will, one day, be broadminded enough to understand why we had to share a sleeping bag.

By the way, the 20th looks OK for the Xmas meal. I wouldn't want to be there anyway with all those teachers. It's their own time they're wasting.

Too much detail, Tony and PT...

I'll be in South Africa at that time, so I can't make it, sorry.

Re: Cam MTB Xmas Dinner

Hi Eco

20th good for us - Alison and I will be there in our pomp. (It's the new Alfa Romeo. )

Re: Cam MTB Xmas Dinner

I couldn't make the 13th so 20th sounds perfect!

Re: Cam MTB Xmas Dinner

Re: Cam MTB Xmas Dinner

Unfortunately I can't do the 20th due to a clash.
