STW Singletons Social Networking Ride at Swinley Forest – Sunday 7th February

Blimey, looks as though that van can offer more than "banner services" 😉

Oh to be single(just to do this ride).

Hey Mr K how about me and you go as elder statesmen : making sure there's no monkey business ? 😯
Observational capacity type thing !
IGMC !!!

are you hitting on me ? you gay old bugger , wait 'til I see your brother !

riding a 29er but not blowing a trumpet about it – Member

my name is on my bike
Is your name Gary Fisher? Cotic Soul? er… Voodoo Wanga?

sorry knottie you aren't my type !!!!!!!!!! 😆

sorry knottie you aren't my type

And breath

Sorry I cannot / dare not join you lot

CG and Ali see you on another stw ride though

Don't forget the sticker for the van…

'If this van's a rockin, don't come a knockin'

knottie/oldfart – lowering the tone, you two should be ashamed of yourselves 😉

saladdodger – yes, definitely. March by the sounds of it 🙂

cuckoo – could be a nice little earner for the owner 😯

Money pending (though 2, possibly 3 job interviews this coming week so should be ok) I will be there for defo now… Had the "You're a nice guy but…" text message yesterday, and just bumped into her and her sister on a night out. Her sister can't believe she dumped me she said, says apparently she is "scared of hurting me" whatever the **** that's supposed to mean…

Women are odd… FACT!

See you all in Feb… 😕

could say the same about men 😆

Maverickboy.
Pull the sister?
Or is she a hockenmoose?

Pull the sister?

No ta, nice girl, but I wouldn't… 11 year age gap between them, she has 2 kids, probably not got much in common… Oh, and she talks… Like I mean REALLY talks… Usually not a problem for me cos I like a girl with something to say, but considering English isn't even her first language you struggle to get a word in!

Or is she a hockenmoose?

Nah, but her younger sister (the one I was seeing) is a country mile clear in that department…

don't worry mark – plenty more fish in the sea and all that!

This thread is useless without pics.

LOL, cheers my dear… Same story, different week! 😉

Pics of what? Is this thread meant to be of any use? 😕

^Calm down Barbara just joshing.

here you go Merak, sort this lot out http://www.singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/mugshots only 35 pages!

LOL, cheers my dear… Same story, different week

it's a crock of crap isn't it?!! 😆

A quick scan of the link tells me its going to be hard work. I feel there are going to be lots of Gents and not so many Ladies 🙁 Hey ho.

it's a crock of crap isn't it?!!

LOL…

My list of requirements is getting shorter and shorter… Pretty much my only requirement in a woman is Consistency these days. A woman that wants the same thing next week as she did this week (ie. ME!)…

But seeing as a woman that knows what she wants is impossible (let alone one that is consistent in what she wants!), I'll stop worrying about it, and go ride my bikes some more… 😉

^Calm down Barbara just joshing.

(not sure that I wasn't calm in the first place but…)

OK Diedre, sure thing! 😉

you think?! 😉

Have I missed something? I thought it was a singles' networking ride – not speed dating.

it's social networking i believe

Exactly my point ali, why are the guys getting so intense about it?

call it what you like, a social networking ride, a meat market, a line up, speed dating on wheels….the name is just a name.

What it is is a ride for primaarily single people to coe and meet aleigh…oops I mean to come and meet others 😉

Would somone like to direct karinofnine to the lead in thread…it will explain. The thread was rstarted as the other got……. a little fruity.

Exactly my point ali, why are the guys getting so intense about it?

LOL

Who exactly?

Think you might be confusing a few guys who know each other already, taking the piss out of each other, as something much deeper! 😉

Oh, I made a mistake. I didn't realise you were kidding each other. Not off-putting to me, because I have decided to come along, but could it be off-putting to other females who also mistake your joking for something else?

Sorry 😳

Seriously though, should I manage to make it to this ride, it will be to ride my bike, see some old friends, hopefully make some new ones, and to have a laugh… What anyone wants to call the ride concerns me not!

C_G, Aleigh and a lot of the others know me well enough now that I'm taking the piss (always accompanied by a 😉 I might add)…

I'm sorry too.
I'm coming for the same reasons as you, I'm really looking forward to it actually.

I feel there are going to be lots of Gents and not so many Ladies

Yes, it's going to be just like any other STW ride. No issues with that because the ones I've been on have all been great fun 🙂 The speed dating thing made me lol, speed is one thing I've never seen on one of our rides apart from the hand to the cake tin.

Look on the bright side Mark, plenty more time for riding. I'm likely to be a bit hungover for this one, so if I don't recognise you, shout at me 🙂

Calm down everyone please! Take a deep breath, exhale then smile 😆

It's singletons social networking and the only rule is to have a good time 😀

I still have absolutely no idea of how many are coming so if there are any peeps who know Swinley and would be prepared to help out, please post up or email in profile.

Depending on numbers we may need to split into groups so leaders and sweepers are required. Bananaworld has kindly offered to help out but some other volunteers would be really useful.

It's going to be such a fun day 8)

I would offer to help but I don't know Swinley at all so am not sure what I could usefully do

Karin – how did the Hertfordshire ride go today? Hopefuly you had sunshine too 😀

I'm likely to be a bit hungover for this one, so if I don't recognise you, shout at me

LOL, you probably didn't want to tell me that… I'll bring my extra loud voice especially!

Elaine, will gladly sweep again. Can't offer to lead as don't know the trails obviously.

Thanks Mark 😀

I'm obviously sorry that you are coming but you know that I mean that in the nicest possible way. Shame it didn't work out for you though. If it's any consolation, some of us women don't understand ourselves sometimes 😳

What it is is a ride for primaarily single people to coe and meet aleigh

ha ha – what a flattering thought though lol 😆

for balance i think there should be an STW attached/married/henpecked/perfectly happy ride organised otherwise it's a bit discrimatory

This sounds like fun… I'd like to come along if there is public transport (ie train station) nearby.

Looking at the map is Bagshot train station any use or is it miles from the meeting point? How about Ascot?

ally – Martins Heron is the nearest, there will be some STW'ers coming that way. It's around 3 miles from Swinley.

Bagshot is indeed close but you would have to ride through the Forest and it would not be easy to give you directions!
