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.

Any Wobblers?

Given the slightly inclement forecast for Thursday how many takers are there for the Wobble this week and any preferences for postponing until 27th?

Re: Any Wobblers?

Hi Tony,
It looks like I won't be out tomorrow night in any case. So, I would up for a wobble on the 27th. Thanks for organising.
Pete

Re: Any Wobblers?

27th sounds like a good idea, not out tonight due to the weather forecast.

Re: Any Wobblers?

Tony, sorry not to have replied before now. I also can't make it tonight. The 27th would be good for me...

Dom

Re: Any Wobblers?

I fancy a Bony Tony winter wobble, and can't make tonight, so would also vote for postponement.

Re: Any Wobblers?

Once you've tried a Bony Tony winter wobble you won't settle for any other sort.

27th it is then

Re: Any Wobblers?

I will make the changes to the runslist on the website.

Pat - are you OK for the 27th?

Tony,

Happy with 27th myself but still fancy battling the weather for a while tonight. Anyone else?

Richard

Re: Any Wobblers?

Hoping to give it a go

Re: Any Wobblers?

27th should be good for me.

I'm going out in the rain tonight, if anyone else is there..... That would be nice, if not I may go do some gardening in Halton woods

Re: Any Wobblers?

change of heart - enjoy the gardening Pat
