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.

Overnight ADVENTURE(careful)

Would anyone be interested in an "Overnight adventure" next year???
Thinking b and b/bunk house (yeah kin loads around here), camping???
30-45miles out and similar back.
Thinking.. Ardley or Ivinghoe or St Evenage or Brandon?!?

Re: Overnight ADVENTURE(careful)

Sounds good to me! shall we set aside some time in march? I would prefer wild camping - keep it authentic and test out my bikepacking setup before bigger adventures in the summer.

Re: Overnight ADVENTURE(careful)

It's a definite maybe. Go for a b&b in a pub. Adrian can camp in the garden.

Re: Overnight ADVENTURE(careful)

Yep, I would be up for that, B+B in pub sounds good Tony, any camping with Adriano is going to be "rough"

Re: Overnight ADVENTURE(careful)

Goodo. Will look to do something in March.

Re: Overnight ADVENTURE(careful)
