Sussex-MTB is run entirely as a low key group of freinds who ride together, there are no fees involved, and we accept no responsibility for anything you may do to yourself on a ride. Ultimately you are responsible for your own actions so don't ride beyond your limits! Even the most experienced riders do make mistakes and the number of broken collarbones we share between us is amazing! So know your limits!
Yes mountainbiking can be inherently dangerous and although we will encourage you to develop your riding skills further it's up to you not to bite off more than you can chew. Our rides usually involve some challenging singletrack, drop offs or descents in some form. It's up to you to make an educated decision on whether you would want to tackle a trail obstacle or not. If you think it is beyond your skills there's no shame in saying so, it's better to finish the ride in one piece!
The only rule we actually insist on is: HELMETS MUST BE WORN if you turn up and you don't have one you're not riding with us, simple as that!
We're in the same situation in as much as we're an informal club. I don't lead all the rides by any means, but I do have the CTC's insurance for leaders.
