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.

Ride next weekend

I suppose when you are viewing this, I'm thiking 31st Oct/1St NOV
Offy road ride to
https://www.biciclettavelo.com/

Very impressed (& I'm not been a boring yokel) usually...by ... well anything..,
BUT this place was, well yes a tad poncy for a muddy fungster (Roadies paradise) BUT, they do OAT milk, good CAKES, other food AND AND AND the guy who owns it was really interested in discussing MTB, My mtb, and his 20 yr old Litespeed.
Really enjoyed my visit a couple of weeks ago.
Any one else fancy a ride to Walden and back, really feel I want to support this one....... it's a first around here, AND AND where else can you mtb to walden & back in a long morning? Not in Wales, I can tell you!
Your club, sorrry.. collective of like minded sorts should be doing this of a weekend.
Shan't do the Pasty poll thing (what's all that about??) We'll go as fast/slow as you want..unless Hertfordshires Shaun Rider turns up (you need to have been there to understand)
Come on, feel the mood(in a Dutch..ish way), let's do the Essex fing, me darlin'!!
Who wants to do/is available which day?
I'll buy a tea/coffee for anyone over 80 kilosMMMMMMMM... I AM
