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.

Drinks and stuff ......

Holy cow Duncan - what happened to all your gears?? Looks like you're having a fun winter over there :)

Just thought I'd say g'day - for those of you that remember G and I, apart from mountain biking, Giselle also writes a blog called Ultimate Hot Chocolate. It's been nominated for a blog award, and is currently hanging on in 5th place with a day and a bit left to vote. If any of you feel inclined to vote and help G's blog make the final (top 5 blogs are automatically thru to the final round), then you can do so via the link below

Hopefully we'll be able to find an excuse to visit Cambridge again one of these days soon ...

cheers,
Rich
