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.

Dates

I think they are a bit off for the runs list above..

I think it should read:

1802/2014 Lord Byron, Inn Trumpington
21/02/2014 The Jolly, Brewers Milton

:)

Dates and anyone riding this evening?

or even 18/02/14 and 20/02/14...

Anyone fancy a pootle this evening towards Trumpington. It might be a little damp and will almost certainly be a little muddy!

Re: Dates and anyone riding this evening?

i'm going to be out tonight.
i will swing past the start, but i may just take my self off to Harlton woods and see if i can clear the devistation that has almost certainly taken place up there.
probably meet at the pub later

Re: Dates and anyone riding this evening?

Re: Dates and anyone riding this evening?
