MegaSack DRAW - 6pm Christmas Eve - LIVE on our YouTube Channel
I should be there and will be riding from work and there may be one of my other mate turning up as well.
I am not sure if will be at JW this Thursday night as I may be riding at Oldbury hill . If I am going to be at jw I will be there the normal time and place.
ok , might see you there .
Had a great nightride last night, followed by a couple of beers in bexley village.
Not been up for a while. May try and get up this evening.
i ll be there tomorrow night as usual .
I am hoping to be there and will be riding from work.
Bumped into 2002 yesterday, I'll be up on Thursday evening for the first time in a while. Will need to borrow some lights. Meet at 18.30 at stables or 18.45 at top of Golf course path. Quite tempted by Jonesy13's' beer in the village afterwards' idea.....
Option 155 I will meet you near the stables at 18.30 and will bring my spare lights and then meet chris at the top of the golf course bridle way. Chris we will head up the main path in the woods to the stone in the centre of the wood then up to the meet point. Keith.
yes, should be there as normal .
Good ride and it seem to just be getting faster by the week in there.I hope the links works for the light I was on about Mike and I hope you have enjoyed your first night ride using the Deben 700/900 lights.
Yeah, great ride last night. Thanks for the link. Ordered one for the bike. Which is the headlamp I borrowed?
The lamp on your helmet was the Deben Tracer phantom 700 and the 900 model was on your bars. I like the 900 on the road /lanes but much prefer the 700 off road due to the long run time and I think better more even spread of light. I do like the way you can set the second setting from anywhere from 100% to 0% which is very good when it is foggy. They have a helmet mounting coming out soon.
I do not think I riding this week due to big mishap on the Farningham woods bridleway Sat night when some thing stopped the front wheel dead firing me over the bars into the ground.
Still not received light I ordered so no off-road evening rides for me for the mo'. You OK after fall?
I still can not ride off road as my ribs seem to be making a clicking sound at times and there is now way I can chance coming off again till they are fixed. My light has been sent.
I am away this week so no riding for me .
whats with the new wood sculptures, the one of the (norse?) man, scared my mate shitless! We were pissing ourselves with laughter!
Quite a few sculptures. I think they went in when hard paths were upgraded. If unaware, the Viking-like one is a bit spooky. When do you guys ride?
they look good . only seen 2 so far .
cant do thursday this week , but happy to go tuesday or wednesday . if no replies will probably go wednesday .
I am still no where near right since my over the bars crash so I not out this week. I am glad the wooden sculptures seem to have been left alone and not taken home for some one garden . A they still cutting the trees down in places.
Just received new light. Could try and get up this evening, but really need to work out how light will go on bike/helmet. Email me direct
get well soon Keith ,
did not go out tonight as had to take dog to the vets .
I d be up riding thursday night this week .
I'll be up on Thurs too. Got your mail Keith. Thx. Rest up. I may copy your light setup when I next see you.
good ride last night . very slippery with leaves but not a lot of mud .
I am hoping to be back riding again next week. I have 2 wide angle lens from the USA to try out on the MagicShine light. I am going to make a helmet mount like the ones I have made to the Deben lights .
glad to hear it Keith .
was worried I d get lost on my own....
Anyone out this week?
Where are these sculpture btw? Rode there Sunday & didn't spot anything which makes me think I miss a load of good trails when I'm there.
I'm out on Thursday
Rode these woods for the first time last night with a mate and that wooden sculpture is one scary mofo. I nearly came off laughing coz it scared him so much. I think it got the heart rate racing more than some of the hills!!
You guys go there much?
yep , ride there regularly , normally on a thursday evening , meet on top of bridleway by golf course for 6.45 / 7pm .
I thnk we found most of the best bit by now .
I am still not right but I should be there are I want to try the light out. I should be there about 6.45 pm
I'm not the quickest rider around but any chance you fancy a tag along next week?
Sure - I am a recent joiner myself. Meet me and 2002 down Stable Lane at the first entrance into the woods at 6.30pm
This thread appears to have become a sub-forum for the Joydens Woods MTBers !
Can't you swap phone numbers or something?
Just to confirm it will be next week as not around this week, I will post again before then.
@ Derek : easier if new people want to join .

I should be there and one of my other mates should be there so it we meet up the far end of the lane just before the lane enters the stable gates which is where the first entance to the woods is. Keith.

last week ride was cut short when the rain turned horizontal .
I will see what the weather is like and I have found another carving in the woods which now make 6 .
I'll be going on Saturday, inlaws live in Bexley, any recommended routes? I was going to head in at Stable Lane via Bunkers Hill and just get lost.
Yep , avoid horsetrack and explore the other trails . Too small to get badly lost .
What time might you be riding Sat as I might be there after I finish work at about 13.30.
Not sure yet, whenever I can slip away from the family, probably late morning.
Evening rewski. Bumped into you today on my stumpy, must have missed typed my mobile no. Anyways will be out for a night ride round joydens first weds in jan 🙂
Or post up.
Hi monza, I really enjoyed Joydens, found a nice loop with a nice stepped downhill section, plenty of fun to be had. Hopefully hook up for a blast in Jan.
Anyone out riding joydens tom eve????
I should be there at about Thursday night at 18.45 and can meet you at what ever entrance you will be at as I come in from the Old Bexley end of the wood.
Cool, I'll can meet you on the entrace on the road to mount mascal stables. Where there is a make shift bridge. I be coming off road from Blackfen and will be on an orange patriot or fsr stumpy. Looking forward to it.
I will try and make this as well
I hope every one I have ridden with in Joydens Wood and from the Shetchys forum this year have a Happy Christmas and New Year . Keith.
Is any one riding in the evening this week as I am working so can only ride after work.Keith
Merry Christmas to you too Keith .
I should be out as normal this week , can do any evening .
Happy holidays to all. I'll be up on Thurs.
I hope to be there and will near the stables at about 6.30 pm and will then ride up to the golf course.
I missed everyone again last Thurs. At Stables at 6.30 and golf course at 6.45. Can't do Thurs for a while now. Moving to Weds (this eve) if anyone interested.
should be out tomorrow if it stays dry , cant find motivation to get soaked at the moment .
no issue with changing to wednesday if ok with Keith .
I do not think I will be out this week but have no problem riding Wed nights from next week if it is dry. I will tell my mate John about the night change.
I can actually do this evening, but will move to Weds from next week. Agreed, wet weather not very appealing at the mo.
had a blast last thursday , was really slippery in places .
cant go this wednesday, but back to normal next week .
I'll be out tonight instead of Weds/Thurs. Evenings getting busier by the week. In fact, ignore my previous request to move to Wednesdays. Thurs remains fine. last week was a one off. My mistake.
