Dammit’s adventures in mountain biking

Grind do great brunch type things, blueberry pancakes and bacon, eggs benedict etc etc. Coffee is good too.

Does it look like this?

Awesome. Rough time?

I was planning on breakfast at around 08.30 if that sounds reasonable?

Yep sounds good around Putney way I assume.

Yes

Also, @mashton are you coming?

I dislocated my shoulder yesterday, skiing. Cable harness under helicopter, opiates, burly men popping it back in, the whole nine yards.

Think it's a no from me...

You’re getting too old for skiing, Matt.

Hope you were doing something sick, rad, or both.

I was very nearly sick when they gave me the Fentanyl. Does that count?

Close enough

Oooopsifucks. How did that happen?

The usual: slowing to a stop, over balanced and did a prone cartwheel.

It was only my second run so the spidey ski senses weren't fully tuned yet.

In accident related news, what helmet for riding an MTB that isn't a full-face downhill thing?

Poc trabec mips

Bell Super 3 (replaced by Super 3r, has removable chin bar option too).

Giro Montaro MIPS

Doh. Been there, done that. Without the dislocated shoulder, happily.

TLD A1/A2

Next question - Me Julie bought a bike home last night that has 15mm boost forks.

I only have one 15mm boost adapter - I have a standard 15mm adapter however, what spacers (that I might have in my tools/spares box) would I need to make this work with the boost forks?

for the bike rack? Probably 10mm. Boost is 15x110, standard is 15x100

Me Julie bought a bike home last night that has 15mm boost forks.

If this is what I think it is I'm looking forward to seeing this.

What common household items are also suitable for use as 5mm spacers so we can get mystery bike on the rack?

If you need a start for an MTB route in the Surrey hills, I found this route card when I was clearing some paperwork.

You used to be able to pick them up from head for the hills shop in Dorking.

I haven’t ridden MTBs round here for sometime but I’ve had thoughts about getting out again recently
