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: Greetings

Welcome back Mrs Dwarf! Long time - no see!

I hope those kids aren't still saluting the stars and stripes every morning :)

On the lights front, yep, those Maxx-D or whatevers from USE are pretty good. I'm on LED Lumicycle lights and dusting off my enduro battery for those long winter night rides, although I had mine upgraded by the factory to 1800 and 2300 lumens a while back.

Don't forget a back light, although not as dazzling as you used to ride.

So good to have you back.
