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.

Re: Return of the Bear - Thursday's Ride...

I am planning on riding.

Given the Bear is out of hibernation I suggest we postpone Bartlow or Bust for a week and head to the Three Horseshoes in Stapleford instead.

See you all Thursday

Re: Return of the Bear - Thursday's Ride...

I'll rock up too

Re: Return of the Bear - Thursday's Ride...

Yep, up for both of those, just like old times 🐻
Hope he still has a 26er just for the full retro vibe!

Re: Return of the Bear - Thursday's Ride...

Yup - me. Looking forward to catching up with The Bear again.

Re: Return of the Bear - Thursday's Ride...

I should be out for the ride too, will be good to see you out again Mark :)

Re: Return of the Bear - Thursday's Ride...

I have visitors tonight so won't be out, which is a shame as I'll miss the mythical Tallack

Re: Return of the Bear - Thursday's Ride...

I myth you too, Tony...

Re: Return of the Bear - Thursday's Ride...

Great ride last night and so good to catch up with The Bear - almost a full South Downs 2006 reunion!

Re: Return of the Bear - Thursday's Ride...

I enjoyed the evening. Good chat in the pub and some high speeds on the way to it.

Re: Return of the Bear - Thursday's Ride...

I bet you had the bit of South Downs rock for tw*tting your rear cassette in your camelback too Pasty🥴
Great ride last night good pub banter too. Can we kidnap the Bear and bring him out on a regular basis-I’m sure he wouldn’t mind!

Re: Return of the Bear - Thursday's Ride...

I believe Richard Mills will be back in town for a couple of nights in the next couple of weeks, so there will be an opportunity for us all to feel small again.
I may even try and make it to the pub.
