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.
  • Don't ride too close to the person in front. If they crash into a badger, you'll need time to swerve.

Winter Wobble on Thursday

Weather permitting the Winter Wobble will be held on Thursday - finish point will be the Plough and Fleece, Horningsea.

This will be one of our periodic 'competitive' events - navigate to as many check points as you can and gather photographs of random objects of my choosing to earn points. Teams of two or three. Wine for the winning team.

Let me know if you plan to ride. If you don't have a team partner post here to find someone.

You know you want to...

Sorry, can't make Fursdi, Ere in doors is out and FW and I are home alone!?!

Well the forecast doesn't look good for tomorrow evening at the moment but I haven't been out much lately, so hoping to ride anyway. I guess that means I'm looking for someone to pair up with !
