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.

Thursday ride

So, no idea where we are going.
Don't know who is still left/in the country.
Looks like rain at 11pm.
Anyone else out for a magical mystery tour?

Re: Thursday ride

I'm up for a gentle bimble. May I suggest the blue lion Hardwick as destination?

Re: Thursday ride

sounds as good as any destination as any.
we went there last time i was out.... but that is not a problem, and i cant actuly recall when that was.... might be 2 weeks ago might be more..... everything is a bit of a blur at the moment.

i will keep checking the website to see if there is an updated runs list, but if i get to the start in time i will suggest this destination, if no one else has looked at this post or over ridden the choice ;)

Re: Thursday ride

I'm up for a Blue Ball PH experience tonight, unless the RLF posts different.

Of course, we could go the Owl's Finger, as per Adriano's FB post.

Re: Thursday ride

I like the new pic. But not this rain, although it's the best sort of rain (warm) I'm giving it a miss tonight, sorry Pat and Pasty.
