You can see how it might be taken as a rule and not an advisory. Given the context of the other rules.

You should check out the mtb club I used to ride with, if its not too far away from you (meets used to be at Outwood, south side of Leeds).

The club motto is "Ride bikes, drink beer, eat cake." :mrgreen:

What a bizarre thing to say. If you have a rigid rear triangle then that is a 'hardtail' whether you have rigid forks or bouncers up front. All that is left as a combo is full sus so the 'rule' doesn't exclude any mtb's. Does exclude offroad unicycles and disabled offroaders with trikes, hand cycles etc.

Personally; i would tell them to get bent. Life is too short to waste time on people who come up with such dumb things.

Maybe I've misunderstood the rule, or taken it out of context. Here's the full rule lifted verbatim from their webpage:

Rides are suitable for conventional & electric mountain bikes, hardtail or full suspension only

To me that sounds like 'no fully rigid bikes'.
