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.

Plough and Fleece?

Looks like it might be a bit breezy. Anyone up for a quick fenland pootle to the Plough and Fleece? There's bound to be a sheltered spot somewhere en route.

Re: Plough and Fleece?

Not tonight, I’ve returned from Dublin with a respiratory infection.

Re: Plough and Fleece?

I'm hoping to be out. Other than a touch of snotty hay-fever, I don't have any respiratory infections to report.

Wind is set to get much lighter towards the end of the night.

Re: Plough and Fleece?

where are you getting hayfever from at this time of year? dusty house or 'respiratory infection' more like.

Re: Plough and Fleece?

I too have a respitory infection. Picked it up in the hospital when visiting my dad. LFT tells me it's non-Covid. Won't be out tonight though as driving back from Shrops later on
