Joydens Woods

Hi anyone regularly ride in Joydens Woods in Kent?

yeah all the time every Thursday night i have a quick blast through and most Saturdays

Once in while, not been for a couple of months.

Just looking to join in on a few local rides as my 2 usual riding buds are now in s. america for 6 months and india for 6 weeks! (Something I said?)

yep , ride there regularly .

also ride in farningham woods , 10 minutes away from joysden wood .

what time do you ride there on a thursday ?

usually around 6 ish i have probably seen 1 or 2 of you there before i also ride farningham woods most saturdays.

only other cyclist I saw was on a GF 29er SS and someone on a Giant full sus .

I always enter from the bexley stables side i ride a carbon 456 will be riding this thursday in preparation for the london to brighton

Whats farningham like?

not very big really has a few tracks through it but pretty short.

I enter by the golf course

Farningham is good , but I havent discovered much in joysden wood yet .

I ride in Joydens wood a fair bit and ride a Giant Antherm and think we should sort out a ride at some time .

yeah i would be up for that. would be good to see any other route’s people know.

me too .

Yeah I’d be up for it as well

I am going riding friday afternoon , 4 ish . was planning farningham but could do joysden wood .

Hi There

i know Joydens well and would be up for a ride on Thursday after 17.30 if anyones up for it?

please let me know.

When I used to live near there I always called it Joydens Wood, but I guess thats the name of the place so maybe the woods are called Joydens Woods, or are they Joydens Wood Woods?

Been there a few times, some nice trails, don’t really know my way around though. Can’t make this week, but would be up for it if there’s another ride planned?

(live in Bromley, work in Erith, so it’s not much of a detour on the way home)

could do tomorrow night but not before 6.45 . need to charge the P7

I will be there tomorrow only problem is i have not got me lights yet so riding after dark could be a problem 😀

I have ridden there and around for approx. 12 years (used to live there) so might try and make it after work (6.30 ish) depends how tomorrow goes but also have regular rides out to Lullingstone Villa area, Trosley, etc. Based in Horton Kirby

Cheers

my email is in my profile if riding tomorrow night .

based in hextable , but in laws in horton kirby so interested if you have rides around that area too .
I ride in knatts valley too up to wrotham etc…

warren ,

no idea where the stone or scout hall is , I normall enter by the golf course .

I went tonight but could not find anyone had a good blast round joydens though. may have been abit short notice this week but does anyone fancy next thursday at 6:00 meet at the style near golf course?

Chris

Warren

@ Warren : ok cool . will be there .

@ Tony : wont finish work till 6h30 but you can start and I ll join mid ride . found my lights so all good .

might need a canoe instead of a bike .

I can’t really get there in the week, as I don’t usually get home till around 7, but will be up for weekend ride though. I only really know the stables entrance-where’s the golf course way in?

great ride with Warren tonight , except broke my chain twice .

we agreed on a ride thursday night , I wont be there till 6h45 , but will meet up with the early starters .

golf course is along Birchwood road , bridleway is opposite the farm and Dakkar garage .

I work in Bexleyheath and I will try to be there next Thursday night but what time might you all be meeting up. Keith.

keith , follow this thread a time and place will be decided , probably around 17h30 .

@ jonesy13 : can do week end riding but will have to be early morning .

You know, I live so close to Farningham but have no idea that there is any decent riding around. Please enlighten me guys?

I normally ride the Pilgrims Way down to the Medway area but Farningham would be great for a little mid week blast..

i go out with a group on Saturdays we usually do around 30 odd miles starting at hall place then to a cafe near brands hatch and back your all welcome to come along we start at 9:30 and depending on where we go get back between half 1 and half 3.

I will be there next Thursday around 6 o’clock.

I do not finish work till 5.30 but depends what time you meet up I might be able to meet up with you some where. I should be able to get to the bridle way over the golf course by about 6.00.

ok so if you guys meet up at 6pm on top of golf course ,and I ll join you at 6.45 at the engraved stone ?

If thte weather is dry is any one planning to be there Thursday night as I can be at the top of the bridle way over the golf course at about 6.15.
