sugdner,
I need to update the other post. We've done a little behind the scenes emailing and it looks like we're off to Farnborough. Porridge pot & Tunnel hill. Another place a few of us haven't been.
Nice call for the 29th, can you join us on Tuesday or are you still stuck for time?
Yes, i'll join you until about 1, PP and Tunnel good for me - do you have a guide (a Troll?), I've been trying to learn it of late. Which side you plan to meet?
may well try and make the trip up for the 29th.
James
Sugdnar, we have a guide and a meeting point. I'm on my iPad and can't remember the name of the pub, I'll let you know in the morning. Nice one, see you Tuesday.
Sugdnar - meeting point on thread. [url= http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/anyone-up-for-a-pre-christmas-weekday-ride-next-week-surrey-area/page/2?replies=41#post-3281678 ]Tuesday ride link[/url]
Oliver,
I will be happy to ride on the 02 Jan, and show you the best bits, but I cannot make the 29 December ride.
I will keep watching this post for updates.
Singletrackmind....thanks for your comments....see you soon for another ride.

Hi Paul,
sounds good i should be fresh from the 29th hopefully 🙂
For everyone who is coming on the 29th meeting at 9 am at the lookout underneath the wooden thingy, nothing silly, all abilities, possibly a beer after.
happy days
great, I was hoping a Swinley ride would emerge around these dates. I'll be there.
I am up for a ride around Swinley on the 2nd 😀
Hi all, i'm up for the 2nd still and can happily show people around Swinley if you still need someone to guide?
What time?
I hope to be about on the 2nd too, penciled in.
2nd Jan for me too .
Brewing on the 29th Dec so work gets in the way of fun . again.
Same route as last time Paul ?
Best get on the turbo and bring the Kona , see if i can keep up this time. 🙂
All,
jumped over from the other thread started by ask1974.
If you don't mind an extra tagging along then please add me to the list. Like the lookout been there a couple of times now.
I'll come to the 29th, I'll bring the bigger bike and have a wee play on the jumps and drops and stuff probably!
Is it greedy to be up for the 29th (until the in laws descend) and the 2nd for the full distance? Please keep me in the loop on arrangements.
See you on 29th. Whats the parking like at swinley? Can you get a permit from the lookout?
Parking is good, permits available on the day from the Lookout.
I'm around on the 29th so count me in, been once before but could do with being shown the best bits around Swinley.
I too could be in for the 29th, sounds good...
ta for the info, deviant
I'll be there on 29th, Ive been around Swinley probably a dozen times or so, but only know half the tracks very well.
Still - im sure I could point out at least [i]some[/i] good bits.
Guys,
A new posting for the 02 January ride seems necessary.
I will be glad to show you round the best bits, including the new Stickler extension.
Any ride start time from near the Look Out Car Park is fine for me as I will be riding in from Wokingham.
I will probably be riding a HT with 2.1" Kenda Blue Groove + Nevegal Stick-E tyres....the 1.9" Kharismas were too narrow and sketchy last week.
Perhaps Oliver can start the thread up?
PaulD
I can't make the 29th as have to work!! But up for the 2nd as not working, are their any times set for the 2nd yet? Will keep an eye out for an update.
Not going to be local for the 29th after all sorry.
All still OK for 9am on Thursday?
Will be carrying a few extra pounds so go easy...
Yes I'll be there, 9am at the lookout,
Definitely with an extra few pounds .......
Excellent. Look out for a blue Passat.
how many in total? im aiming to be there for 9am, orange Cotic Soul
Still on for tomorrow 9am, another Passat and another Cotic, a blue BFe, see y'all there
Hey im still up for this , Ford transit , Black cube and a Trek .. Dean & Adam .. Can anyone help me out with a satnav postcode never been here before & coming from watford Cheers !
Makkag, it's been years since I was in the area so someone might want to check this, but I assume it's all the same place;
The Lookout
Nine Mile Ride
Bracknell
Berkshire
RG12 7QW
many thanks pal
Ask/guys, this still on for tomorrow I assume? Just getting over a head cold Santa delivered but if it's on I'll be there.
Hi ti_pin_man, yeah, all looks good. Should be quite a party by the looks of it. I'll be very slooowwww though, legs still hurt from last week 😯
Ooh-might have a chat with the missus about coming along tomorrow...will see what I can do!
DrP
For those that don't know Swinley has very good parking. As you drive in suggest you turn left into the first car park which is outside Go Ape.
Then I suggest that we meet on the path at the top of this car park outside the gate next to Go Ape that leads into the forest.
Then we can sort out if we are going as one or more groups, heading to the whole nine yards or up gravel hill first and who is leading etc.
I'll def be there, looking forward to burning off some excess! Driving a bright blue Focus, with a green Ellsworth Truth, and knowing no-one... Also trying out my Christmas HiLo seat dropper for the first time.
Short and sweet ride guys, enjoyed that a lot this morning. Big thanks to Richard for showing us around and a big shout to Andy for the new clipless pedal humour. I counted 12 dismounts, good effort!
Afternoon chaps, was a good ride this morning thoroughly enjoyed it, massive thanks to Richard for leading, was nice to finally ride all the trails that swinley has to offer. Looking forward to seeing some of the videos soon dean, can't beleive we saw AMBER! Get in
Good fun this morning well done Oli for organising and Richard for directing, chapeau to Andy for the dismounting display!
Yep very enjoyable morning thanks Rich and Oli and everyone who came along and made it so enjoyable . I am about 6 minutes into a video at the moment .. will be the first one i try to edit as have about 2 hours so go kind. Rich Oli and any others well up for any weekend in Jan if you set something up .. Adam picked the wrong day to try out Spd's for the first time .. After you lot left he rolled up to me an just fell sideways so that was 13 !! Thanks again great to meet you and i will get some video's up of us pinning it and grabbing the big air ! well pootling along anyhoos !
7th Jan looks good?
works for me and i know adam will be up for it
Yep, that was fun. Kind of knew it was going to be a good day after my arrival... Random lady evicts about ten dogs from her car all over the car park and starts hopping around yelling "SLOW DOWN" - as I corner at around 5mph. Don't you just love the irony of people creating a situation then becoming irate with anyone who should have the misfortune to becoming part of it. 😕
Really enjoyed the ride and massive thanks to Richard for leading.
Oh, smoothchicken... I got your little tumble on vid. Not the whole of it but most 😀
Well done all and Happy New Year. Will try to make the next ride as well.
