==================
============================
The volunteers were called to Ogden Water to a mountain biker who had
chest injuries from an accident after a ride betwen Christmas and the
New Year.
He had fallen from his bike while riding with a group on a bridleway
and had suspected internal chest injuries.
It was their final callout of 2011.
The hurt biker was given pain relief by the team’s medics and taken by
Yorkshire Air Ambulance to hospital.
The serach and rescue squad were formed in 1966 and many said the
winter of 2010 was one of their busiest ever but a mild winter in 2011
meant a slightly quieter time.
In 2011, the team, who are based in Mytholmroyd, were called out 53
times. In 2010, they were called out 67 times and the year before 44
times.
It costs £30,000 a year to keep the team running.

That's where mountain biking should stay: indoors, on private property.
You should stay in jail where you belong with the other criminals.- Hide quoted text -

I know -- mountain bikers HATE the fact that I tell the truth about
their selfish, destructive sport and their lying, criminal ways.
Mountain bikers are even willing to LIE UNDER OATH to put someone in
jail. I can't think of anything lower.
Your jail outfit was probably lower, like around your ankles.
