hi, I'm planning a trip to Swinley this coming Sunday and wondered if any BM regulars were going maybe I could tag along. I've only been there once before and just asked some other riders in the car park if they could show me the trails which was so much better than just following maps... local knowledge and all that. Let me know if you're up for it. cheers, Greg

 I might be over there on Sunday, but dont know it very well at all so thats not much help Greg  WOuld be good if someone with the "knowledge" could come along ?
|
|
 Where is Swinley?
|
|
Swinley Forest, Near Bracknell which is near Reading.
|
|
Ah right, I am with you. I just wondered as I have heard the name a few times but had no idea where it was. I could have googled it I suppose 
|
|
 I will be there about 10am Sunday if you're still up for it.

Thanks all. Will have a look at that link Sum. Goaty, I was planning to head up there at 9 as I can't be out all day with it being Mothers Day and all, but it would be good to meet up with you at 10 for a blast so let me know if you're still up for it. cheers, Greg

As long as you're not a racing whippet and don't mind stopping every now and again then no worries. Myself and my mates are't the fastest in the world.....
|

I've never raced a whippet in my life I'll have you know.  I will be good just to follow you guys round and get to know the trails a bit more so no worries on that score. Where do you want to meet? Car park? I'll be the tall guy with the Orange Yeti 575. You? Greg

Meet in the car park. Will be in either a bluey greeny double cab Mitsubishi Pick up or a blue Diahatsu Hijet van (looks like a Bedford Rascal). I'll be on a Red Turner 5 spot and will probably have a Tomac and Cannondale in tow. I'm the bald one.....

Great. Looking forward to it.
|
|
I cant come this week but next week I'll be there about 9.30 Sunday morning.
|
|
Just wanted to say thanks for showing me round the trails today Goaty. Great day for it, will give you a shout next time I'm up that way again. cheers, Greg
|
|
You had great weather for it. I'll be there next Sunday morning if anyone is up for it.
|
|
Massive bike sale thingy going on at the Rivermead Centre in Reading on Sunday so i'll be spending pennies there instead.
|
|
ohhh, is there... Any good stuff ?
|
|
It's one of those companies that go up and down the country flogging their wares. I noticed the advert in the back of this months (I think) MBR and thought i'd pay it a visit. I would go riding on Saturday but i'll be in Doncaster most of the day.
