Club Safety and Risk Assessments

Risk Assessment

A safe crash with a tree

The latest risk assessment has seen the Club elevated to ‘high risk’ by the Union due to the inherently dangerous nature of the sport.

Thanks to the diligence of the members and safety orientated environment within the club there have been no serious accidents throughout the clubs history and very few minor mishaps. This is no minor achievement considering the nature of the local trails and roads, the frequency with which we ride and the range of skill levels in the club.
