Hi Mark. Yes please, not sure what group yet. I haven't a clue how many will turn up!!
Just out of interest is anyone going from central london that can provide me with a lift getting there? Cheers
I'm coming for sure..
Should be there a short while after 9am for large amounts of bacon... 😀
😆 @ 'celebrity' Jedi
you gonna wear a fur coat and carry a wee dog in a bag tony?
i'll chase you around on a scooter with a camera and long lens if you want 🙂
The weather on Sunday is starting to look biblical! I will be happy to help out as I know the area quite well. May I suggest mud tyres!?!
Yes it could be a washout if we're unlucky. It has to be said if it's really bad I'll be staying at home, because I'm only coming to take pics and rain will kill that. We'll see.....
well in a bizzare twist i may come along to this if the weather is looking as bad AndyRT says. the lordswood one was wetter than wet and still good fun.
v.i.p? legendary? yeah in my own lunchtime 🙂
Mud tyres will not be required. Spare brake pads possibly.
And a big dose of MTFU will not go a miss either.
Podster are you listening? 😀
not once have i changed my tyres to cater for mud..........that's because i don't have any haha! can't be doing with all that faffing.
swinley is brilliant and judging by how well january was, this sunday is going to be ACE! 😀
and rudeboy is going to give me a big hug too so that'll make my day even better!
Pete, I can ride better, quieter trails closer to home than Swinley, so I'm only coming for giggles and pictures. As such, if the weather is biblical we might stay home. I'll decide on the day....... 🙂
I'm new to the forum, so hello all 😀 This all sounds amazing, I love Swinley, and my biking bud is away on hols, so I'll def be there on Sunday, on my Johnny-no-mates lonesome. Bung me down as an intermediate and I'll see how bad the hangover is come Sunday morning... 🙂
Evade
hello evade - see you sunday! 😀
Just to advise that pre-booking/registering is not necessary. The sight of C_G with a clipboard in her bossy-boots guise would frighten everyone away 😯
Mr Poddy - get your ar$e over to Swinley, haven't you got a new camera especially to record this state occasion 😉 I hope Mrs Poddy is coming?
mrmichaelwright - you are joining in the fun aren't you? You sound like good entertainment value 😉
Niche bikes - we have one contender so far, the legendary WCA 🙂
Weather forecast - Metcheck are more reliable, light rain only apparently. We don't get monsoons at Swinley.
evade - hope you can join in the fun.
singletrackmind - will be good to see you again 🙂 I am delighted to report that RudeBoy will be coming and has two ladies to hug 8)
Got to admit, for me it depends on the weather. I might be a pussy, but going out in heavy rain doesn't really work for me. If it rains while I'm out, different story.
not such thing as bad weather just wrong clothing
Like Evade, Im a long time lurker but would love to see the good bits of Swinley and and ride with new people - bang me down for an intermediate ride. (Will be coming on the train from London).
What is niche about my bike?
I thought it was pretty average for this forum.
Anyway, I can't be bothered to read the whole thread but can someone summarise what is happening. It is going to rain on Sunday - is that the news?
i bringing my niche cove hummer, niche cos its the only cove hummer i got 🙂
Yeah but what tyre pressures for Swinley in the wet?
WCA - Depends if you are going up, down or along 🙂
CG-
I'll up the niche count.

Mr Poddy - get your ar$e over to Swinley, haven't you got a new camera especially to record this state occasion I hope Mrs Poddy is coming?
I only ride because I enjoy it, and I'm only coming to Swinley to take pics and say hi to people....
If it's going to be pissing down with rain all day, I won't enjoy it (And yes I DO have the right clothing...) and it's a waste of time getting the camera out.
Like I said, at the minute the forecast could change and it'll be worth coming along. I'll get ready to come, but I'll be deciding based on what the rainfall radar shows at 9am Sunday morning.
It's not as though I'm short of riding time. I'll have ridden 6 out of the previous 7 days by then.... 🙂
mrmichaelwright - you are joining in the fun aren't you? You sound like good entertainment value
yes
and bringing nickc and likely a few of the boys from Trek.
not sure if i'll entertain, we can all laugh at my mate Matt and his world class faffing though 🙄
C_G, can you bring those tyre along for me? Will have the money waiting for you.
Niche is good 🙂
Mulletus - will do 🙂
Everyone - had a little wuss ride at Swinley today and, my oh my, the conditions were good 8) I had such fun
Polite request - can the weather system stay as it is please. Bit more sunshine would be super.
Reminder - don't forget to purchase your day permit on line. Saves faffing which means more time for a second breakfast. Mmmm bacon sizzle sizzle 😆
Just got back home and my new saddle was waiting. So was wife but she was asleep so I think some late night fetleling is in order.
what if she wakes up?
Hadn't thought of that. Better stick to fiddling with the bike.
Rode the trails last night they are in top condition. very nice ride for a couple of hours solo night ride.
"I am delighted to report that RudeBoy will be coming"
Apparently only if it doesn't rain otherwise he is staying under the duvet even after persuading us to go along.....
dalepoint did you ride the corkscrew at the crowthorne end?
Ooh the weather looks, um, amazing... (look at the map, scroll to sunday, glorious)

Brown shoes and black socks
i'm really looking forward to this. it'll be hillarious 🙂
Thinking wet suit will be better for the morning, then shorts in the afternoon.
DrP,
Have just spoken to Rusty Trowel and he's not sure whether you're still planning to share a lift on Sunday. He can't email as he's just moved house so no internet yet. I believe you have his mobile number. He definately going regardless of the weather.
Hmmmm, due to car being left kaputt at work, I might struggle to make this. I am at the mercy of a mate. As a backup, any possibility of a lift share from near Salisbury?
yes very nice to as was labyrinth playground scotland yellow brickroad and the new bit I cant remeber what they are calling it. sorry for the delay been on the bike with the kids.
[b]Latest update[/b] - a few drops of rain to start with then blue skies at mid-day.
[b]Permits[/b] - have you got yours yet? do it now, online and save time.
Mullet - Rusty and I are in cahoots and will speak to him later about lift on sun....
PS all - I don't like rain - I'm made of sugar you see, and my bike is cardboard.....
DrP
what time again?
sorry but i have 100! things going on at the mo and my memeory is suffereing for it 🙂
i cant even find the directions page on this thread 🙁
