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.

Six Bells, Fulbourn

Anyone riding to the Six Bells tonight?

Re: Six Bells, Fulbourn

Yup!

Re: Six Bells, Fulbourn

I hope to be roading it to the pub. See you there all being well

Re: Six Bells, Fulbourn

I will also be roading it to the pub but, workload permitting, I'd like to start from Brookside with the normal group.

Anyone else roading it? I'm doing so on physio's advice - they've seen the state of the trails too.

Re: Six Bells, Fulbourn

Baby sitting again tonight so going to head for the.......mud this arvo.
See you next week

Re: Six Bells, Fulbourn

I was planning on mtbing, but I don't mind quite a lot of road given the likely state of the off road!

In other news, I have a new uppy downy seatpost. Very exciting.

Re: Six Bells, Fulbourn

i'm planning on being out tonight.
i'd prefere the mud to the road, but we will see what is decided at the start.

Mud, mud, glorious mud
Nothing quite like it for cooling the blood
So follow me follow, down to the hollow
And there let me wallow in glorious mud

Re: Six Bells, Fulbourn

Yep, i'm out for the 2nd time this week. I am happy with some mud (....mud glorious mud) but will do road if thats what everyone wants.

See you at the usual place - usual time

Re: Six Bells, Fulbourn

Update: Pete and I are roading but will start a bit late as I've only just got home. That is all.

Laters!

Re: Six Bells, Fulbourn

A.....Reverb!

After my flapping about whether it would fit, in fact I couldn't measure and it fits easily.
