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.

Milton tonight?

Anyone riding?

I am thinking about it but reserve the right to change my mind if it starts raining!

Re: Milton tonight?

I'm planning on riding if I get away from time.

Re: Milton tonight?

Should start piddling about 10, that's the rain not a weak bladder!

So I'll be out

Re: Milton tonight?

Yes please. Are we going to ride off road tonight or is it another road fest?

Re: Milton tonight?

OK, work has intervened and I'll not be at the start. Hope to still make it to the pub so please text me if you change venue.

Re: Milton tonight?

Yep, I'm coming out...... Cycling not the other meaning before anyone comments

Re: Milton tonight?

I'm thinking about, insofar as my lights are charging & my bike is clean.

Re: Milton tonight?

Neither of those things are true for me Andy. I think I may have forgotten to charge my main light and my bike is UTTERLY FILTHY. I am thinking of bailing out as generally knackered but will update so you know whether to expect me!

Re: Milton tonight?

I'm still at home. So I guess I'm not coming.

Re: Milton tonight?

Nobody here:)
All byyyyy my seeeeelf (sing along, you know the words!)

Re: Milton tonight?

4 of us here leaving now. Eco, you have 2 minutes;)

Re: Milton tonight?

Not tonight...... At home with a box of ibruprofen heavily revising for the next three days of gas exams.

Re: Milton tonight?

Still at work so not even going to make the pub...

Re: Milton tonight?

I could smell rain, so did a Sufferfest on the turbo.
