OFFICIAL Swinley (SEXYPARTY) all-welcoming First-day-of-spring FUN RIDE! – Page 5 – Bike Forum

philconsequence · 2011-02-14T14:42:06Z

[b]THE Swinley super-sexual super-fun all-welcoming March FUN RIDE![/b] OK, here we go again :) In the same way staff on planes ask you to pay attention as the safety announcement may have changed since your last flight, there are some changes and additional information in this post! I have broken it up into sections to try and answer as many questions in advance as possible: [b][u]WHAT'S THE BIG IDEA?[/u][/b] Who wants to join us for a chilled not so serious not too fast ride? A ride that is completely devoid of mad skilz, big air and judgement, an afternoon of getting muddy in Swinley... Equally who wants to meet up with some of the weirdos from this forum and blast through the single track like a scolded yeti? The last SwingleySexyParty ended up with some confusion at the beginning and we ended up with everyone heading out in one BIG group of just over 45 riders.. this time I think it's sensible to have a couple of groups: [b]1 - "The A-Team"[/b], a group of riders so fast and AWESOME that it would be mean and nasty to make them wait for the slower riders... PaulD has kindly volunteered to lead this group. [b]2 - "The A(part2) Team"[/b], as above, but possibly necessary if enough people come along to have 2 faster groups... Thisisnotaspoon has kindly volunteered to lead this group. [b]3 - "The It's not how fast you ride its how much fun you're having (but secretly jealous of the extra confident healthy people) Team"[/b].... Cinnamon_Girl will be leading this group, feel free to stick photos of LOLcats on her backpack when she's not looking. Conversation and pace should be set by the slowest person in the "INHFYRIHMFYH(BSJOFECHP)" group so please dont worry about not keeping up with the mentalists, this should be an afternoon with lots of little stops and no pressure to be amazing. If it wasn't for a crack down on misogymathingy I'd almost jest it makes it a perfect ride to invite your lady friends along too ;) If that sounds like your idea of fun, then it would be a pleasure to have you along. [b][u]WHERE AND WHEN?[/b][/u] The plan is to meet at [u]11:30 on Sunday 20th March[/u] in the LookOut carpark for fettling, pumping up tyres, admiring my pyjamas/Yeti's pre-ride stretches and then setting off to ride at 12o-clock lunchtime. It is worth emphasising that it is sensible to allow plenty of time to park and, if needs be, use the Coral Reef car park which is across the road from the entrance to the LookOut. There is an Overflow car park that is accessed from far right hand side of car park on the road that exits the car park... It is alongside the B3430 Nine Mile Ride. A webpage with the look out address details (on the right of the map), map and directions is available [urlOnce you've parked up, unloaded your dandyweapon of choice and checked your "tyre choice for Swinley?" thread then come join me underneath the trees to the right just as you go though the Go-Ape gates. [b][u]ARE THERE ANY RULES?[/b][/u] Rules? Wouldn't that ruin the spirit of such a friendly chilled ride? Well yes it would if it was all taken too seriously, however there are some pointers that are worth getting out of the way now, fingers crossed they don't come across as super-strict rules.. more pieces of advice to make your ride and everyone else's that little bit more enjoyable. [b]1)[/b] Bring your own spares, [b]2)[/b] Bring your own camelback/water, [b]3)[/b] Wear a helmet if you've got one or do your own risk assessment and dont, [b]4)[/b] Bring your own mid-ride snacks, dont want any "bonking" now do we ;) [b]5)[/b] Route will be decided upon the day by the "leaders" of each group and will be dependent on any trail closures/conditions... [b]6)[/b] If LOTS of people turn up then we might need to break up into more than 2 groups, best to decide this on the day. [b]7)[/b] As with the last sexyparty...In the spirit of a beginners/gentle/nothing-too-serious-ride I will be wearing full on downhill pyjamas, I will ride a carrera from Halfords and I will make sure any bike snobs out there will be mortally offended by my blatant disregard for the unwritten rules of MTB... so if anyone is worrying about what they ride or their choice of lycra, relax as you wont be judged! [b]8 )[/b] We ride at the pace of the slowest rider in each group, or we ride at our own pace and wait at the top of the next hill/section/junction for others to catch up. [b]9)[/b] No pressure on anyone to do things they are not happy with as it's all about having fun! Walking certain sections/hills will not be frowned upon. [b]10)[/b] Due to potentially large numbers of riders, please don't bring your dogs as chances are mrsconsequence will ride into them whilst distracted by their awesomeness... She is still learning the hard way that you ride into what you're looking at. [u]Drink/nicotine/crack-pipes disclaimer:[/u] I dont really feel the need to tell people to be considerate, so I'll just say that people are people and will do what they want, but in the spirit of...

Cautiously put it on my calendar - meeting you people for real has got me scared, hopefully the experience won't leave me mentally scarred 😕

More me. Er, just had a look at available train times/likelyhood of Moday off - can't do it. Any chance of starting the ride earlier? 11 would be good for me.

I might go but the whole having to introduce myself and awkwardness and embarrassment this will cause bothers me

"Hi I'm Matt.......,I'm Tiger,....I feel like a tit now"

"Yep"

Really regret this user name!

was quite funny watching people ask each others names at the December ride 😆

even better was the embarrassment of people walking up the a big group of riders and asking "are you all singletrack world people?"

Tiger you'll be fine.

What you want to do is start some embarrassing threads in the interim.

Then when we meet you, we can go... 'Oh [i]You're[/i] Tiger'

i wouldn't dare ride off a curb without at least 160mm travel at either end. so your bike should be fine for the gentle single track, please dont ride into any roots though dude, i dont want to have to call the emergency services. 😆
