Ok, group ride cancelled. I'm still going to be doing the same route at the same time though.
Wonder if anyone fancies coming?

Dont worry, all they have to do is watch when I purse my lips and mince. Then they will know its rocky.

I'm coming expecting 110% entertainment. If I don't get at least one laugh for every metre I shall release the Lions onto Pook.

Do people's normal riding gear not normally contain a first aid kit (twinned the the knowlwdge obviously). No matter where you ride, Peaks, trail centre, I find that worrying.In a group this big, if someone does break an ankle - i'd hope there'd be plenty of volunteers to carry the person and their bike to safety.
I know someone else has responded to this post, but can you tell me which first aid kit I can assemble that helps with broken ankles?
In 16 years of riding MTBs, I've never needed a first aid kit while riding. Unless it can deal with concussion, broken ribs, broken wrist, broken thumb, whiplash - the type of injuries I've had in the last 2 years or so - then it's unnecessary weight.

So if someone falls off and gashes there leg on a sharp rock (lots of them in the peaks), someone will whip off their buff and wrap it around? Ok that's fine then.
The issue of weight is just bl00dy ridiculous - I've no idea how much mine weighs, but it's sod all.
I'm taking mine and you're welcome to use it if needs be. Let's hope not.

and I'm not suggesting a 1st aid kit carries everything that'll be needed, but things can be done with a broken ankle to make it more comfortable for the injured party.

Morphine - check
Limp surgical saw- check
Rohipnol - check (cough) oopsPosted 2 years ago # -
A portaloo is always a good idea, as there aren't many bushes.
Humour and sense of humour essential.
Camera to catch pook as he speeds extreemly fast upto a large snowfilled hole and bunnyhops into it, sinking to just below his shorts line. I suppose you had to be there, it was very funny.Have a good one boys.

I'd agree that in theory it's a good idea, but as I say I've personally never needed one, none of the people I've ever ridden with have needed one and a quick survey of my current riding group showed that while a couple of them had 1st aid kits, they'd never been used.
If a big mixed group is out though, it's probably safe to carry one - just in case someone gets a headache!
