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.

Swanning around this evening? Heck, Quy not?

Anyone out tonight? Quarter past five and no posters? Or even small A4 flyers?

Alison and I will be doing a Dom in from Quy. Who knows, later on we may even get to ride with the nearly-birthday-boy!

Indeed. Sounds like a fen time for all.

I shall mostly be working on formatting the summer runslist and tending to my ill wife.

Not sure if I'm out Thursday either - I need to be fresh for the mosh-pit at the Walk Off The Earth gig on Friday night!

At least I know I won't be nearly-celebrating on my own

I attempted to ride, however my peddle decided to self destruct while ridding past B&Q. Turns out there is an issue with PD-M985 spindles - The end snaps off after a bit. Nice feature! Anyway might pop along to the pub later.
