What an amazing last ride of the year?! Great weather, trails and people. I thoroughly enjoyed it and hope to hook up with some of you again next time I am visiting the mother in law. If any of you find yourself up near Sherwood Pines please give me a shout. Great to meet you all, have a superb new year!

Anyone who had a gps with them have any idea how far we rode? My usual loop is about 13 miles, just wondering how much the extra bits added.

Just under 30km for me but that included riding there, cheeky bit of singletrack before meeting you guys and then some downhill fun after I left you then rode home! Also took the 'scenic route' to The Deer Stalker where funnily enough spotted 3 deer crossing the track on the way there. Twas pretty.

Happy New Year everyone ๐Ÿ˜€

Happy New Year

I've uploaded some footage from the STW NYE ride, best watched in High Quality, I am no video producer so they are unedited and full versions of what was recorded.

forge - it's always interesting to see these videos, get a different perspective. The Labyrinth looks so cool 8)

giantjason - there's so many good bits to Swinley. Come along on 10th January and be shown a selection. Hard to describe where The Deer Stalker is, it's past The Wall and is a newish trail that was cut off The Labyrinth.
