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.

Anyone trumping tonight?

Looks like there will be a sprinkling of but we are made of hardy stuff...right?

Re: Anyone trumping tonight?

Thinking about it Neil and am also thinking about how my tryres were like snakes in the mud last week and also how long it took me to clean my bike after last Tuesdays ride!

Any more takers out there...?

Re: Anyone trumping tonight?

Think of the beer Steve And a quick hose down, you and the bike will be as good as new!

Re: Anyone trumping tonight?

You're absolutely right Neil...I'm thinking about it!

What about everyone else? Forecast is looking good now ☀️ , or has nobody switched to a winter setup yet?

Re: Anyone trumping tonight?

I will probably be out for a spin (and a slide) on my slick tyres this evening....

Re: Anyone trumping tonight?

Yes please I'll have a bit too!
