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.

Fenstrual Cycle - monthly foray out into the flatlands. Often undertaken when the decorators are in.

Pre-fenstrual tension - that feeling of 'oh God! Why am I doing this?' that occurs shortly before a Fenstrual cycle, when contemplating the incessant headwind and bleak landscape.

Re: The Fencyclopedia, call for contributions

Good work Tony.

I think I will have to gauge some opinion around the use of the word fenstrual from a focus group...as Fenduro considers selling out in the future I don't want to alienate any groups.

Besides, I think there is some overlap between pre-fenstrual tension and exisfential crisis: a moment, often induced by the bleak fenland landscape, at which an individual questions the very foundations of their life: whether this life has any meaning, purpose, or value.

FEN- THE annual motor cycle meet organised by the Carrington Farmers Harley David and his son Brian To raise money for all the poor "Missing the sixth finger" folk of THE FEN,,....,,,S. It is well documented to have helped bring awareness to the "issues of the fen" to the samaritans & especially "Befriend a fen" projects of 1991.
Billy Joel attended this efent causing the "Many of Manea" to have an erection leading to bringing awareness to "Red Cell aid" a subsiduary of Duracell/Papworth inc. One reciprient was famous for commenting "Plug the fucker in, I'm going HYPO"

Later the Meet moved to Rings End near Guy him which then alienated many homofenians and their sets.
