[Closed] Joydens Woods

What are the trails like at the moment? Was a mudpit when i last ventured out there, that was about a month ago. Well everywhere was!

It very muddy in places and I may give it a miss tonight due to being out at Bluebell hill last night where it was very hard work due to the very deep mud .

good ride tonight .
trails were fairly dry .
back next week for more .

A good evenings ride and miles drier that I thought it would .

I should be out tomorrow night .

I should be there with one of the lads at work and I will have to see how he gets on as to whether we keep up with you. Keith.

I should be there this week with some one from a bike shop who is going to try out one of the deben lights. Keith.

good ride tonight on my own .
a bit muddy but it was expected .

I ll be there tomorrow night .

Chris can you email me as I tried to email you and the email came back about what day to ride next week. Keith.

I am hoping to be there about 1900 tonight.

What's the local riding like as far as climbs, decents and singletrack. Was at Lullingstone at w/e and thought the darent valley must have riding potential, in-laws live in Bexley and rode over Joydens before, seem to remember heavily trodden bridle paths - did I miss the good stuff?

Keith : wont be able to make it tonight , wife is going out .

the riding is good , but nothing spectacular . you porobably went on the horsetrack which can be horrendous at times , but plenty of singletracks in between .
we ride every thursday night from 18h45, except this week as I am away .

I had a quick ride round tonight and Joydens wood is fairly wet still every where.Funny riding a HT in stead of my Antherm tonight .

will be out tomorrow night .

I am hoping to be there as normal but if I miss you I will try to be at the stone at 7.30

Chris I do not know if I missed you last night but I was not riding long due to my front brake deciding it was going to stick on big time .Keith.

Chris my bike is now fixed and I am planning to be at the top of the bridle way over the golf course at 1900 . Was very dry in there Monday night .

should be there too . not sure which bike yet .

I should be thee this week at the normal time at 19.oo a tthe top of the bridle way over the golf course.

me too .

Hi Guys

please can you keep your eyes and ears open as i had my black CUBE TLD PRO stolen on Sun/Monday. They also came back Thursday to take to others but could not get back into the shed!

Hope to be back in the saddle soon. If anyone hears or see's the bike let me know.

Cheers

Warren

I am so sorry to here that and I will keep my eyes open , seems like you have to keep an eye on ebay now. Keith, hope to see you riding again soon.

I should be there but my legs have had a hard time on the Blue Bell hill ride tonight mind you it is the driest it has been there for months.

Chris I am hoping to be there this Thursday night .

I ll be there too .
good weather so trails should be excellent .
and for those with no lights , we managed to ride till 8pm last week .

I am plan to riding this Thursday and any one who want to be shown the trails in there can join in as we meet at the top of the bridle way over the golf course at about 18.50 and start riding at 1900.

Moving to the area next week. Would appreciate a guided tour of JW and/or anything else in the vicinity. Cheers

I am sure me or Chris can show you round the local places to ride as well as Joydens wood. Keith

Chris I should be there but it will more than likely be nearer 18.45 at the top of the bridle way if you are riding this week.

I am hoping to be there this week if any one would like to be shown round. meet at the top of the golf course bridleway to start riding at 1900.

so all welcome on tuesday evening , on top of bridleway by golf course for 18h45 .

Been riding there for 10 years+ & hardly ever see anyone else - usually pass through 2 or 3 times a week. Regular loop takes in Joydens, D'ford Heath, Rowhill, Farningham Woods & the Darenth.

I'll keep an eye on this thread and out on the trails.

I have not been able to get there for a few weeks and I was wondering what nights people are riding either Tues or Thurs. I am riding Blue bell hill most Wed nights.

the make of pedals was Time.

cant do tuesday this week , but can do thursday or friday .

I have to do some work on my car so can not ride this week. I am starting to wonder how long we will be able to ride in there due to the amount to work being done in there with new paths going in.

back in the country , I am up for a ride tomorrow night .

I might be there but I have done 62 miles on the mtb today up and around London and am feeling it a bit. Lot of work being done in there with new gravel paths being laid. I have found a new single track section I have never done the other day. Lights needed soon.

I am still off this week , so can do any other evening if better for you .

actually need to cancel tonight , maybe thursday ?

I'm around Thursday. Not been up for ages!

cool , thursday it is then . been out there this afternoon and it is nice and dry .

I should be there.

still ok for tomorrow night .
