What hip flask for Swinley?bionic woman - thanks very much for offer of help, that would be great 🙂
martinh - thank you also. Could you e-mail me please, address in profile.
Will there be a group doing a fast XC style ride like wot forge197 did last time please Auntie CG?
Hip flask filling should either be a good single malt or sloe gin. You decide.
Hi Pete! It just so happens that some lovely STW chaps have volunteered to help out. Remember forge's assistant/sweeper from last time, also called Paul? Paul will be helping out again so make sure you go with his group. That OK for you?
Actually, a pint of London Pride at the end of the ride would go down a treat 😉
I'd like too come too, if thats ok?
slartybartfast (what sort of name is that!) - of course 🙂
pressure???
🙂
Not sure where the name comes from just like the sound of it. I discoverd this forum the day after the last swinley ride.
Sounds very hitch hikers to me
Yep, Hitch Hikers Guide, Slartibartfast designed the earth, was particularly proud of the fjords

CG, I'd like to come, Paul's group sounds ideal.
Hello,
I'd like to come too please. (If work doesn't send me somewhere far away) 🙂
Nevs alive!
Hoooorah!!
Yes I remember Paul.
Top bloke.
Looks like the trail pixes have been out with the bright orange paint. Marks up everywhere on trees and on the ground at a stat of a munber of trails. Wonder if the Potter money is going to be finally spent?
Yeah i think should be there! Sounds like a laugh!

I think he even got an an award for it!
Hmmmmmmmmmm ... just wondering about an STW banner. It will be very busy in the car park and don't want STW'ers gatecrashing other group rides 🙄
Polite request: is there anyone here with expertise or contacts in the world of banner making? E-mail in profile 🙂
surely swinley singletrack is not much fun ridden in such large numbers?
Pay attention mudsux 😉
I think we knocked up a banner with a sheet of cardboard and a marker pen for the first Purbeck ride. Don't think the Blackberry Gin will be ready for this ride, so will go for Aberlour or Balvennie Doublewood 🙂 YHM too.
No longer off to France that weekend so count me in!
I'll get my wife to make one. She's a painter, you know. Can somebody send me what should be on it? Otherwise you're risking my choice 😉
Ooooh, some more people. This will be such fun 😀
Rich, yes I remember the cardboard! But there are trees in the Swinley car park plus there is an overflow. However I do remember one time riding around asking strangers (men) in the car park if they were there for a forum ride 🙄
Blackberry gin? I'm impressed 8) YGM too.
Hey Kris, that would be brilliant! Just STW in bold letters and if your wife has time to paint some little bikes on it, that would be fab 😀
You know what the car park is like. Er, just a thought, hammer, nails, affix between trees?
She's just said yes. Should it read: "[i]Auntie CG's little darlings[/i]"?
That is really kind of her so please say 'thank you' from me.
Nah, those who know me will be mortified and those who haven't met me yet will be speechless! I have a reputation as a batty old bird 🙄
ah that's why you get on with nickc, he's a batty old bird as well
mrmichaelwright - didn't really see nick during the Chilterns ride. Reckon he pedals more like a bat out of hell 😉
Quite a few people will need to buy a permit for the day, I can ask the sales area if we can stick a sign inside to send people to the correct area. Or a sign on the door. The best bet is to meet up just outside the carpark area. Safer and we can do a quick check of the carpark to check we have everyone. a quick map can be made to help people along.
pete - I will be posting up the link so people can purchase in advance the permit online 🙂
Saves faffing, they can get a coffee instead!
I need a tall man 💡
Or a man with a ladder 💡
Anyone handy with a hammer?
I can bring my step ladder and my 6"4 mate?
my real ladder left when i was 5
Sounds good curtis 🙂 We have a unique banner that needs to be hung from the trees! But can you both be the first to arrive at Swinley?
You do have strong arms I take it 😉
Hey jedi - you could always build a mini skills area in the car park 😀
That should be no problem... should I bring something to fasten the banner? Maybe cable ties? Oh and what time should I arrive?
OK, we need Hairychested to arrive early with the banner. I guess some string would work?
I thought about reserving part of the car park for STW'ers and traffic cones would be ideal. There's loads on the M3 at the moment so if I pull up on the hard shoulder, should be able to chuck a few dozen in the boot 8)
Sorted!
I would get some cones from work, but knowing my luck they will have to close a road over the weekend and have no cones resulting in a kicking for me Lol. Will look around though.
I will have a look in the shed and grab what I can to fasten banner.
Thanks curtis 🙂
🙂
What time do you need me there, CG? How big a banner should I bring?
im looking forward to this. the best ride i ahve been on was the glentress stw black route ride
