Thanks to the organisers nice day. Very dehydrated by the end of the day thanks to the guy who pushed my cramp out.
Yay... thanks to Phil for organising and PaulD for leading.
I ride those trails pretty much every week, but it's nice to ride them with some different people (and put faces to internet personas).
Hang on, extra large doner to get outside of first, then I'll be back and that.
As you were.
(The little quiet, almost [i]painfully[/i] shy one on the tiny red bike...)
Sounds like a good one, hope I can make the next one and that it's soon.
Well, I tell you what Tom, I won't be having one of these bad boys again for a while; it's enough to feed me for a week! 😯
Hey sounds like a great ride, I'm jealous, do any get organised down south, I mean further south and east a bit preferably.
Er one question, why do peeps ride with only one speed (I guess that's what single sped means) are they poor people, I could probably find some old gear stuff, should we form a charity?
Gears for poor single speed riders that can't ride good.
are they poor people
I am! 😀
Speshly after forking out for this extra large doner.
Jeeze, I'm struggling. Not sure if I'm going to make it. 😐
Save some for tomorrows breakfast/lunch.
Should've listened to the bloke in the shop when he expressed concern for my ability to finish it. 😳
It's bloody huuuuge. Even Binners would struggle to finish it.
Might heat up the leftovers for Match Of The Day. 😀
are they poor people
nope just better than you :p

That is all.
Aidan speaketh truth. It Is Written.
Who was the tall guy who got up that vicious climb?
The man's a machine. Proper power. Most folk with gears couldn't make it to the top! 😯
That was the fastest I've ever ridden round Swinley. Sweet Jesus of Nazareth it was quick!!! PaulD isn't Human, I don't reckon, but some form of superfit alien, sent down to make us all feel inadequate.
Trails were soooooo dry and fast. Unfortunately, someone had to go and spoil it for others though din't they mentioning no names but he lives on Hayling Island and rides an old plastic bike and is sponsored by a banana company.... 🙄 He was like bloody Lewis Hamilton, cutting people up and overtaking etc. So rude and inconsiderate.
Oi, Dezinald! Whe'ya pictures dem?
Im keepin dat sticker on my bike
As for uncle Leathal Dizzle...
One of the bestest days ever
Who was the tall guy who got up that vicious climb?
Maybe me? Depends which climb you mean.
I was on the Ti Singular.
Yes was you!
Fair bloody play to yer. Some of those climbs are nasty enough with gears, let alone without any! 😯
So single speeders are poor and don't like girls?
Er <insert blushingicon> do they er prefer boys? (That T shirt is a bit misogynist)
Which is perfectly cool, well not cool cool but not well you know what i mean lots of boy on boy stuff in my world, so it's actually a gay thing then (can we say that)?
Its fine, so it's a club,like 'special people' they choose not to have gears and they like boys, do girls who ride with single speed only like girls, or doesn't it matter?
They like working hard and going slowly then.
Some singlespeeders are rich, some are poor.
Some like girls, some like boys. Some like both.
Some are girls, some are boys. Some are both.
They are in fact like ordinary people, except that they are better.
HTH....
are you for real derek?
We looked like this:

Thanks Philconsequence for putting together a top day. Thanks for AndyRT for leading the 'relaxed' group.
Lovely stuff.
Great ride and my thanks also to PaulD for leading. I was the slow one on the expensive Pace. All the gear no idea?
That t-shirt didnt mention unfeasibly small genitalia.
That's cos it's not meant for people with small willies, like you.
I'll have you know that I dont need to ride a singlespeed to enhance my genitalia, you cheeky cockerney barrer boy!

are you for real derek?
Hmm real? Real in a virtual sense I guess.
The person operating me is real. The bit doing the typographic representation is a computer generated personality manifested in this instance by a ridiculously good looking but ever so slightly 'slow' male model who in turn was a ficticious tale acted by somebody else for the cinema.
So real in an unreal sense.
Why?
The same reason I guess peeps ride with only one speed, a flatland affectation dahling.
They couldn't do that round here, we have proper hills.
No; you need a length of rope, a large weight and an upstairs window....
I ride SS. I have a schlong like a gibbons arm holding a baking apple.
Still? I thought that cream you got was meant to take the swelling down, and make it less hurty? 🙁
I can see I need another list section
It's a local tail, for local people! Anyroad, you look like you were having a lovely time, and I'm jealous.
Doh !
Just seen the pictures, there are some style terrorists with extreme prejudice.. Volleys, Wife beater combo's it's like transportation to the Planet Urunkewell. Are there Australians there?
I'm jealous too, I should be there, they clearly need me..
I can save them from themselves..
sounds like you had fun. couldn't make it due to family stuff in the am but was briefly in Swinley this afternoon on the BOB 2pm ride. Did we pass some of you on the middle section of the seagull, whippet Ben in the Mtn Trax race kit would have been up front? Unless he stood sideways in which case you'd have missed him.
next time.....
glad people had fun! 😀
fantastic days riding, thanks to phil for organising and Paul for leading and setting a fast pace from the get go... and all the others for making it a blast, was very warm but worth it to have the trails flowing so well.
off to test valley tour tomorrow with tired legs 🙂
AndyRT im now north winchester based and would be up for an arranged ride round this way.
It was awesome, Phil!
glad you enjoyed it jamie, did you enjoy my cheeky nipple slip and bullhearts offer to ride in y-fronts for our non-short wearing friend? 😆
Those things you describe, which I definitely saw, were my favourite things of the day!
It was more awesome than Surf-Mat coated in dark chocolate....
Which, if you tried measuring on an Awesome-O-Meter™, would result in loud bangs, sparks and lots of smoke. Probbly springs and flywheels pinging off in all directions too.
Dobo, email me, its in my profile.

Speak for yourself. 😛
Anyway, top day out. Thanks Phil for the organisation ('cos posting on the internet was hard) and PaulD for slowing down once we were all warmed up.
If anyone has a GPS track of where we went, I"d love to see it: be nice to know where all those swoopy bits are.
Tim (grey Commençal Meta, fast group)
Great day out yesterday!
Thanks Phil for getting us all together and thanks to Andy for putting together a really nice loop for us all in the slow group. There are some lovely little sections in there that I would have never found and will probably never find again.
Thanks to all for great riding company. Nice to finally put some faces to names.
Andy RT, you would be more than welcome to come to our humble little wood and sample some Alton hospitality.
