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.

Six Bells

Anyone fancy to riding to the club pub of the year tonight???

Re: Six Bells

Hi Jon,
Sorry, still coughing like camel, hope to venture out next week.

Re: Six Bells

Yep, Im up for it (but not the ride home)

Re: Six Bells

i will be out.
looks as if it could be fun out there tonight.

Re: Six Bells

hope to be out - it's lovely in Fulbourn just now. Got to get up early tomorrow though...

Re: Six Bells

Planning to be out, barring any last minute hitches.

Weather looks increasingly windy, albeit dry. Not sure about the trail conditions - that frost and rain will have made it more than a bit sketchy - need to think about route choice.

Cheers

PT

Re: Six Bells

think about the route choice?!!!
why?
normaly we all turn up, discuss it for a bit, go for the safe option and set of at 19:45
why should things be different today

Re: Six Bells

Something has come up and I won't be able to make it this evening - have a good ride.

Re: Six Bells

I think us wusses who don't want to get muddy should consider this the next time we iterate towards the ideal number of bikes:
