Nice meeting you tonight Chris,thanks for the guiding.We will have to return the favor sometime -

I intend being there tonight but I'v got a sore throat if I dont feel up to it on the ride there Im turning back home hope to see you at gc before 7.00 if Im not there dont worry

Nice one Lee its been good riding with you and the grunts must do it again sometime .Hope you enjoyed your curry

Cheers guys.The curry was good.Thanks for hosting us-your always welcome on our rides .

We will have to have ride down where you ride as it seems the main way of finding new places to ride and it was a bit of a shame it had rain so much Wed night. We have never had as many people out on a Thursday night ride. Keith.

If we get more people turning up and depends on how wet it is we could head over Faningham woods or if it has been this wet Dartford heath is only a short ride away and it drains well.

I am hoping to be there at about 6.45 Thursday night at the top golf course bridleway.

we re heading to farningham woods tonight .
the GG are metting at 6.45 at the car park of castlethurd lane .

I ll be going straight from work thouh canada high entrance bridleway and meet them at the carpark .

Do you meen calfstock lane

Yes , cant spell .

Thanks again tonight guys-good fun.You'd be welcome to come down and join us for a night ride-we could fit in with you guys time wise -ie start a bit later .This would be a good place to meet you if you are up for it sometime http://goo.gl/maps/nnpC4 Ship Inn Cobham

Thanks for joining us .

I ll try and join you on a friday night , i finish early .

I am riding this thursday , probably joysden .

I think a few of us are coming over for a play too.We will be at the Joydens Wood Road entrance at 6.45pm all going to plan.

I'v never heard of joydens wood road do you mean the stables or ferndel ave entrance ?

Joydens Wood Road is the one that goes into Ferndell Ave(private road),we usually park here http://goo.gl/maps/gauLa

OK I'll see you guys by the gate .We will have to meet Chis somewhere he should out and about

I ll meet you at the gate too . I ll txt keith and mike .

I will not be out this week as I will be seeing my mum who is in hospital.

Hi guys. I'm looking to do some night riding with a friend and would love to do joydens but only ever done days.
If you guys don't mind two more body's tagging along we would love to. Thanx

@ CHIEF 31 , you re more than welcome to join us . I ll post on here details of next week ride .

Hi. Thanx.

I've just received my new secondhand marwi nightpro extreme evo so
I'm itching to scare some wildlife with it. I don't think I can make Thursday
as the wife has told me she's out. Think I forgot. Anyway she's the gaffer
so that's that. If anyone is out in joydens anyother times even early morning
I might be able to make it.
Many thanx to any helping out a nooby night beast.

might be able to do another night next week , will keep you posted .

Ok looks like I might be riding on my own now. If anyone doesn't mind a semi fit rider with a decent bike and an hid light please let me know.

I may be about again later this week. but the weather not looking to good.

thursday forecast looks ok .

I can do weds but not thurs. maybe it's not gonna happen for me this week.

cant do weds this week i am afraid . i ll be out on thursday , probably out from joysden and maybe ride to lullingstone from farningham .

Maybe I will be able to come next week.

I hope I will be able to ride this Thursday night and we could meet t JW and head to lullingstone but this does include a few road miles and when you get to Lullingstone there is some climbing in there.

Hello guys,we won't be joining you this week.Have a good one.

@ Lee : thanks , see you another time .

I have worked out a route( mainly off road ) , from JW to lullingstone .

if no rain , we can give it a go , but if wet , we might as well stay in the woods .

Sounds good to me maybe we should meet up as normal at gc and discuss the weather before making a final decision can we start early as it might rain later

Should be there earlier tonight , probably around 630 .

well , my planned route was crap . gave it a go on friday , but not worth it . need a rethink .

Chris check this out on google earth from denehole in joydens go across fields under A20 to cookham rd bourn wood (loooks interesting?) Over railway to kiln woods through Crockenhill across the fields there are two bridges under M25 then on to lullingstone and back home though Farningham

the fp from crockenhill to lullingstone are actually half tarmac road . it goes through 2 or 3 farms , including eagle heigh .

it is not fun at all , and i think there might be a few dogs at night .

rode it on friday and got funny looks .

I think you should have a go at a lap of JW/ Dartford Heath as it is easy to join up and you can do a fair few miles. In JW there is a very big tree down on the path near the power grid site blocking the path again.

Hello guys.This is a handy little tool( with access to latest OS maps) for having an explore. http://wtp2.appspot.com/wheresthepath.htm

cheers lee , very useful link .

@ Keith , on thursday , John and I were riding down the singletrack by the golf course when we had to dismount as a tree was blocking the way . John was puzzled as there was no tree there when he went up the path a few minutes before .

Sounds like you had a close one there! OS+OSMcycle is a good map setting on 'wheres the path'.

Nice link Lee THANKS. It as shown some interesting paths that may link joydons toLulingstone I will compare notes with Keith and Chris.The fallen tree was food for thought must have missed us by minute or two .Hope to see you Thu Keith.

i ll be out tomorrow night , same time as normal .

I'll be there

Great riding again tonight guys - thanks.

We will need to start calling the gate at the end of long fence the grunt gate in order to avoid any further confusion between Chris and Keith.I will not be riding on Thur so hope to see you the following week

Is any one riding this week any night.

might do friday night .

Is anyone else riding Thur night

hi john, yes we are . meet at 6.45 at the Grunt gate .

Thanks for last night guys,great ride again. 🙂

Happy New Year to any one I have ridden with in 2012 and may we get some dry weather in 2013 .Keith.

Anyone still riding joydens at night?
