Many people have been asking me when the next Forum Ride will be. I'm obviously happy to organise another one cos it was such fun the last time 😀
I'm obviously dependant on volunteers to act as guides and sweepers for each group so if there is anyone would like to help, please post up or my e-mail address is in my profile.
Date has not been decided yet but that will be posted up in the next day or so.
Thank you so much!
Hand up - hopefully I'll be free this time!
Blimey, that was quick solamanda! Thank you - would you like to run the freeride/gnarly group?
hi CG
I'm a date dependent hands up.
Might have to brush up knowledge a bit though ...
Sure thing Elaine. 🙂
Don't really know my way well enough to guide a group, but up for a ride, date dependant!
(solamanda) would you like to run the freeride/gnarly group?
hahahaha 😆 😉
not been there for ages now, so i'm up for it depending on the date
solamanda and gus - thank you both 🙂
njee - am pretty certain there will be a racing whippets group 😉
richtea - are you volunteering as sweeper for the freeride/gnarly group?
would be happy to help out depending on date now my way round but not enought to stitch a route together more lets go here and there
Hi CG
I'm well up for a Swinley meet up again. I'm guiding in Greece at the moment and will be back after the 15th October so as long as its after that I am willing to get involved. It will be great to ride in some mud again. After 6 months of blue skies and dry dusty trails it gets a bit boring!!!
Matt
I'll possibly voulenteer cake, mainly because I've neither baked or ridden in a while so won't be any good at either :p
Hello, Another swinley local here, flat pedals only group? I've led a couple of medium paced groups around before 😀
i'll be there without a doubt!
Thanks everyone! STW to the rescue again 😀
bikey - sounds like a hard life 😉
thisisnotaspoon - I will be leading the "Slackers" group, why not join in?
would you like to run the freeride/gnarly group
😆 seconded
he can run the worst dressed group 🙂
Any idea when this is likely to happen?
Count me in, the temprature should be warmer this time, just swimware me thinks ;{)
rusty - am hoping to post up the date tomorrow.
solamada - I take it your "friends" can't ride as well as you 😉
Swimwear? OK guys - mankini time 😯
was brass monkeys last time wasnt it, i recall having a slush puppy energy drink in my water bottle..
Hi dobo, yes it was minus 7 degrees 😯
Some people didn't actually have any drinkable liquid and became dehydrated 🙁
Michael is a road rider and no idea who Richtea is. I think they were more laughing at there being 'freeride' at swinley. 😆
Just see what people want on the day and if anyone wants to ride slacker style I can show them the 'downdale' stuff and talk freeeeeride b8**8$ks 8)
oh go on then, i'll come. 😀
nickc and i were there last time
not with you lot though
we're special 8)
and it was bloody cold
Only been riding Swinley for the last 15 years, have helped build a few tracks and spend far to much time doing trail pixie work. I can string routes toghther in my sleep. I tend to ride technical but not very fast. If i can be of any help count me in.
Im looking forward to riding there again. I'll drag my son along too.
If I'm around on the date, I may pop along for a morning jaunt
I don't suppose it's going to be in the week, is it?
Can't volunteer to lead (I get lost in the car park), but will hopefully be able to make the ride. Last one was brill.
I actually didn't mind the cold last time, once I remembered to keep the tube for my camelback inside my jersey it was fine.
solamanda - improvisation is where it's at 8)
richtea - if you haven't changed your forum name since last year (sorry but there seems to be a few variations on this name), would you like to help with the whippets please? You don't really want to ride with me again do you 😉
mrmichaelwright - come and join us! There tends to be so much hot air being spouted that you won't get cold 🙄 If you know nickc, then you'll be with the whippets!
atlaz - if you fancy helping out, that would be great!
molgrips - get out with the Trolls! You'll have a terrific time with them if you can't make this.
Dez - will be good to see you again, and bring that singletrackmind guy with you!
knottie - you're both welcome.
petetheplumber - thanks very much for volunteering.
+1 for me dependant on date, Oct is busy! Slack bearded with funny sized wheels group
I'm in, depending on the date (please, do not make it 20-29 October, I'll be in Ireland).
Can help getting lost in the carpark.
[i]and it was bloody cold [/i]
you're telling me - i couldn't get a drink until i was back at the cafe cos my camelbak was frozen 😯 😆
cg, are you posting the date up?
I'm up for it, depending on date. Never been to Swinley before, but I think I'll be a Slacker.
It wasn't that cold last time was it??? Dependant on date I'm in.
Is WCA coming on another not-quite-rightly-wheeled bike?
Is there a whinging, cynical, miserable gits group - if so i'm in. Unless it's cold, wet, windy or on a day ending in a Y (or near xmas - bah humbug).
I've a feeling this could be a big group.
big group=potential dirty cuddles in the woods?
rusty - you definitely don't qualify for the miserable gits group 😯
rOcKeTdOg - we all behave beautifully 😉
is Mr Ralli going?
If the date is suitable I'll come and crash with style again!
Check out the new thread people 😀
