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.

Hey All

A pic from this week's EdMTB meetup. The village pubs are still crap tho.

Happy riding!

Cheers

Re: solstice greetings

Why are you all pushing your bikes?

As you know, we don't do that on our mountains here...

Re: solstice greetings

You'll have a good ride to get to a decent pub. South of the Wall in my experience.

Re: solstice greetings

The nochda Turd Arms in Loch gilphead is quite good!
or The pissy Blanket around the back of the Stop shop in Bingham always offers a good hospitable experience.
