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.

Hi everyone,

If I can i'd like to join you all for some rides - i see on the website that there's a ride today to Stapleton - is it still on?

Im an undegrad at Cambridge Uni and really keen on mountain biking and you guys seem to be the best local club I can find.

Thanks

Re: Newbie - ride today?

I'm hoping to be out Sam. There's been a lot of weather based moaning though so we could be light on numbers tonight

Re: Newbie - ride today?

Also planning on riding. Should be a nice evening.

Re: Newbie - ride today?

Great, I look forward to it

Re: Newbie - ride today?

Myself and my son Mike, who is 14 will be out tonight. That will keep the pace down I am afraid, just wait for us at any intersections :)
