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.

Closed pubs:2 CamMTB:0

Apologies for dragging everyone to the second shut pub of the week, maybe as Paul S suggested we should confirm with pubs we don't visit often that they will actually be open.

At least the fall back pub was not too far away and on the route back to town.

Apart from that I enjoyed the ride, the first 40 mile door to door ride of the year for me.

See you next Tuesday.

All worked out fine... crisps and beer all round.

Curious what my forum name is btw ;)

Re: Closed pubs:2 CamMTB:0

Weird, it was open about a month ago... where did you end up The hairy man?

Re: Closed pubs:2 CamMTB:0

We ended up in the Hardwicke Arms in Arrington.

The Queen Adelaide was boarded up and fenced off so didn't look like it would be opening anytime soon. A real shame as it was an OK pub and always busy whenever we went there.

We might want to check the Carpenters Arms is open on Tuesday as that has a habit of being shut.
