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.

White Swan, Quy tonight 8.12.16

Dry and positively balmy tonight (10deg), anyone else coming out ?

Re: White Swan, Quy tonight 8.12.16

Might road it there tonight to save the embarrassment of always being last. Actually I have something I need to test on the road bike.

Re: White Swan, Quy tonight 8.12.16

Yup, I intend to be there.

Re: White Swan, Quy tonight 8.12.16

Bring the MTB and have some fun out with everyone Pete :)

Re: White Swan, Quy tonight 8.12.16

I'm hoping for crisp, frosty and firm surfaces...

I'll be out. If it's 10'C you won't be needing the hipflask.

Re: White Swan, Quy tonight 8.12.16

Babysitting duties tonight so not going to make it this week.

Re: White Swan, Quy tonight 8.12.16

My wife will be "parenting" tonight, so I should be out.

Re: White Swan, Quy tonight 8.12.16


I'll be out tonight.
