hey guys,
went to ride swinley today, there are 2 sections that are currently closed, don't know if that means they'll still be closed in a few weeks though, they were out there today doing trail maintenance so maybe it'll be sorted by the 1st. but even if they are the guts of the trail is open, the bit that's closed (if you know swinley) is the fun downhill section before the gravel climb to the start of what is considered the downhill section if that makes sense, the other bit is the lead to and downhill that is towards the end of the red section.
generally it was riding well, lots of puddles but the ground underneath was still hard so plenty of grip. defo need crud guards though and a change of clothes to drive home in!
truth be told i won't be riding retro if i can make it as i can't cope with a retro position currently with a bit of a dodgy back.
