‘m guessing nobody else has been sensible enough to grab one of the defib machines from their local supermarket or trainstation to take riding then?

i did when i rode up snowdon yes!

I rode the lanberis path to the top and then back down the lanberis path, the rangers looks stupidly too hard for me :|
some of the sections on the lanberis i either swerved round or pushed the bikes over.

well i do love a nice shandy on a hot summers day,so refreshing mmm gorgeous hun.

On every occasion when i got out cycling be it with my riding group or by oneself,
it is a must to carry my 1st aid kit with me much similar to this one here

i do have some morphine pills
but plenty of painkillers Aswell as
Anti-histimine tablets
Saline
Strapping – wound pads
plastic gloves
Antiseptic spray
Tweezers
Knife
scissors
Space Blanket
Fleece Top
energy bars
GPS enabled phone
lipsyl
small stove sometimes
whistle
also reflective clothing is a must!be seen,be safe,be heard!

relax and savor a lovely real ale does wonders for me too.
I do frequent the real ale festivals and find some wonderful variety’s at these events.i thoroughly recommend this if you have not yet had the experience.

:oops:

i thank you kindly lhabitantdepointe

i think i am progressing tremendously well now.
I am even going to try the steel city downhill course tomorrow.

safety glasses are great from builders merchants etc,they come with different lenses.superb!

safety gloves form any safety center are of good quality that is what i use all the time.well worth investigating if you haven’t ventured into this department.

How about Hay-on-Wye? Within reach of Birmingham.
Lovely area for companiable walks in the woods with your friends, then back to town for some serious browsing in the bookshops. Later on, retire to one of the public houses for a couple of pints of mild and a group effort on Araucaria. Could be a great stag do.

what a wonderful idea,a man after my own heart. although we have had similar stag partys in the past.

The last stag party from our group we all visited York and toured the museums and took in the culture,a lovely refreshing change from the normal escapades stag partys seem to have!

how about this?

i think the waterproof motorbike suits sound suitable and practical for its intended use in this god forsaken weather!

all of the altura range is exceptional in performance and value.

Safely take my bike off the trail,be safe,be seen,bike positioned upside down for repair dutys.

I use the larger size OMM one.

is that one in the picture?

would it be this i wonder?

it seems that the lowe alpine ones are quite popular on here,

also that it is’nt just me who wears them 8)

bib shorts and mudguards are a perfect combination.

my met parachute at a bargain price i might add.

i now have a met parachute for superb all round dutys and safety.

lycra is far more comfier practical.

the use of plenty mudguards on my bike helps greatly in this weather.

obviously i would recommend Spooky Woods as the one i love.

nothing out of the extraordinary here one might add.

Ahh the joys of taking your partner with you :-)

A fine place to ride,a true classic,lovely.

the last down is slightly tricky if you havent done it before!

I would not advocate anything other than fresh coffee,instant is not nice whatsoever!

Is the Dales bike centre worth ivestigating as a good starting point for excursions around there?

Would say my ibis mojo

but my old marin serves me well too!

it is the technique i have used for the duration i have been mountain biking 4 finger braking which i thought was the normal till i viewed the skill videos.

i would certainly like to try the one finger approach.

when i get home i will get my other half to do the levers as i am useless at maintenance.

this thread has certainly given me the information i need if i do so wish to take this pastime up.

thankyou
