Minnie Mouse Crashed Her Mountain Bike.

Minnie Mouse has been rescued from a Lake District fell after breaking her leg while crashing her mountain bike.

The woman dressed as Minnie Mouse an experienced rider in her 30s, was on a festive ‘fancy dress ride’ with Lancaster based mountain bike club The Bogtrotters. The group - which included riders dressed as Dennis the Menace, Shrek, a sugar plum fairy, a pre-op transsexual and a sexy Santa - were riding along Elterwater Common, near Great Langdale, when she crashed her bike, breaking her left ankle.

This is the first I’ve heard of a “fancy dress ride” but it sounds like it might be more well known in the UK (judging by the quote from the spokesman for Langdale and Ambleside Mountain Rescue in the article). If anything this might make you think twice before putting on that bigfoot costume and hitting the trails on your mountain bike - getting costume fur stuck in your chain just might take you down!
