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: WEDNESDAY RIDE THIS WEEK

If it’s Coton again I will aim to get to the pub for 9.00ish.

I also hope to build up to a reasonable ride of an evening. Managed 10 miles the other day (on tarmac)

Re: WEDNESDAY RIDE THIS WEEK

Yes for Corli and me.

Re: WEDNESDAY RIDE THIS WEEK

And it’s a no from me! Unfortunately I have a previously arranged dinner at the Eltisley. Weather should be good, so hope you get a good ride.

Re: WEDNESDAY RIDE THIS WEEK

Yes. I'll be there but have virtual parents evening @ 6:45, so can't get into town by 7pm.

I can meet you en route, if we arrange a location. Westwards would be a good direction :-)

Re: WEDNESDAY RIDE THIS WEEK

yep, i'm up for a ride this week.
see you at the start at 7pm.

Re: WEDNESDAY RIDE THIS WEEK

Sorry guys,
would love to get that last beer ride in but also have a prior engagement at a different pub, have fun!

I am assuming that from next week we will be like Noah's Ark in two by two :)

Cheers
Geordynige

Re: WEDNESDAY RIDE THIS WEEK

Looks like a lovely evening. I'm planning to be out if I can

Re: WEDNESDAY RIDE THIS WEEK

I'm coming too.
With extra clothes for the pub: 5° forecast for 9pm

Tom, have you planned a route? - see Norman's post

Re: WEDNESDAY RIDE THIS WEEK

Still working😢
Have fun!

Re: WEDNESDAY RIDE THIS WEEK

Ramdomly, i've got some bit of crap in my eye - been there since first thing this morning. The GP is sending me to A+E, so off I go. I fully exepct to meet you in the pub later, but i'm somewhat doubtful for the start ! Keep looking at whatsapp !

Re: WEDNESDAY RIDE THIS WEEK

My phone has died. RIP. No return, so no WhatsApp.

I will take my work phone along tonight.

Norman, my route is out to Wandlebury, Shelford, Hauxton Roman Hill, Coton.

Re: WEDNESDAY RIDE THIS WEEK

Have a good ride Chaps. Maybe if Tony makes it, can the re-opening of the Skinny Arms be discussed? Just hoping....
