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.

Blue Ball, Grantchester

Anyone out tonight, and what about a few beers at the Green Man?

Re: Blue Ball, Grantchester

Hi Jon, ref your suggestion of the Green Man, is this because there is often jazz at the Blue Ball on a Thursday evening?

Re: Blue Ball, Grantchester


Planning to ride this evening, yes. Looks like it might even be dry!

Re: Blue Ball, Grantchester

Should be out tonight. Bound to be dry and dusty. Anything that avoids jazz gets my vote

Re: Blue Ball, Grantchester

Not tonight unfortunatley, Yet more boy sitting with his lord ship.
P.S.
Tony your boiler is due a service, due you want me to oblige?

Re: Blue Ball, Grantchester

I can confirm that its Music Night at the Blue Ball this evening, but not Jazz.

I'd still prefer the Green Man. Am planning to road it tonight, hopefully Pasty will be joining me.

Re: Blue Ball, Grantchester

Indeed, got a sh*tter that needs re-fitting too if you fancy it?

Re: Blue Ball, Grantchester

Yep, I'll be in. Or out. Or whatever it is these days.

So I'll park nearer to the Green Man than the Blue Ball then, shall I? There's got to be a joke in there somewhere...

I'll get me coat. And me fleece-lined biblongs. And me big jumper. And me warm hat. And me warm socks.

I'll get me other coat...

Re: Blue Ball, Grantchester

Sorry folks, can't make it tonight, as I'm running late due to a doctor appointment.

Re: Blue Ball, Grantchester

Hi all,

I'll be out. I'm getting changed now...

Tony, I've always said that your shitter needs changing, especially after that last time we camped.

Sorry about last night guys, hope you got a good ride in.

Re: Blue Ball, Grantchester


Are Thursday rides common? I ended up going solo out for a few hours in the arvo.

Re: Blue Ball, Grantchester

hi Bangers. Thursday rides every Thursday, same drill as for Tuesdays.
