Swinley Forest MTB ride 1/12/19

[tim75]

Hello all, thought I'd try and organise something before Christmas takes over for everyone.

Haven't been to Swinley Forest for ages and the trails there usually hold up well in bad weather so seemed like a good place to go. Plan is to meet outside the bike shop in the car park at 10am on Sunday 1/12/19. Anyone that's not feeling too fit can just do the blue route and then head in to the café. For those that want more we can do the red trail and more if you want, either way the café is never too far away! Everyone has to wear a helmet. Few more details here,

Anyone up for it?

Does that mean you might come along?!

Re:

I’m in! Parts of it are closed at the moment but might be back by then. It’s apparently a bit boggy too, but from my experience it’s never that bad.

Good stuff, if you show me you're Trekker I'll show you mine. Actually might be hard work on the Trekker?

It’s a bit of a cruiser. Might get my clockwork up and running. The frame is not in tip top condition so won’t mind getting a bit trashed in the swinley grit.

Btw: thanks for organising. Almost a year since the remembrance day Surrey ride.

I'll see what can be done. Dec is bad month as I seem to be away for pretty much all of it, but I am around that weekend. I will see if the wife wants to visit her parents.

P.S. Tim how is the Endorphin?

Would be good if you can make it.

I finished building the endorphin ages ago but I had a bit of trouble getting a post. Bought a nice one on ebay, it took ages to come and then when it arrived it was bent so I had to faff around sending it back and getting my money back. Anyway I've got a cheap one now, just need 5 minutes to go and fit it and some pedals and she's a goer.
