Swinley Forest Forum Ride – 10th January 2009

But I should say thanks to CG / Aleigh for organising it though – good work, and I hope it’s a great ride.

Aleigh, another time maybe.

There aren’t even enough trails at swinley for you all to fit on at the same time!

well… i’ve never been to Swinley, so even if there are 40 riders, i’ll be getting a guided tour of the trails and know if i want to go back. so as long as nothing comes up, i’ll try to get down there.

Aleigh, another time maybe

I’d like that. Sorry you won’t come along but I understand 🙂

you saying we’re fat or something…? 😉

😆

there’s tones of room 😀

I’m coming for sure, won’t feel good at all – chest infection not yet cured, but miss my bike and really want to see the madness called STW Forum Live.

As I’m coming by train from Feltham, do I hop off in Ascott or where? And what tyres?

Hairychested – Martin’s Heron Station is the nearest.

Currently you don’t need full-on mud tyres on both wheels as there are some roots. I’m not yet a tyre tart but am sure there are others who will suggest some. FWIW I’m using Bontrager Mud X 1.8 on the front and Panaracer Fire XC on the rear. Cue laughter 🙄

Hi all,
Just a offer to anyone needing a lift on Saturday. I have space for one, maybe two people and bikes if needed. I will be coming from Hertfordshire way so give me a shout.

I have Michelin Mud DH, Intense Mud DH, Conti semi-slicks, Intense System4 (2.25″). Any suggestions?

bikini wax? glen medeiros album?

Glen Medeiros!

Shame on you for even remembering him!!! Shit the bed, that brings back some memories (mostly hazy, involving teenage parties, too much Thunderbids/Pink Lady and utter, utter rejection).

Nothing’s gonna change my love for you, surely one of the greatest love songs ever!

I bet Aleigh had this…

In fact, I propose that it should be the theme tune for this weekend’s ride.

Hey, look who’s back!
😀

Dunno if I said Elaine, but I can’t make this ride, sorry
🙁

No Poddy? Nooooo!

Who’s going to take pics, then?

Not going now. 😥

I’m gonna organise one from my gaff at some point soonish when it’s warm and dry….

::wakes up fron dream::

Arrrrgggghhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!

Have fun, looks like i’m going to be missing this now.. Have had to return a couple of parts to CRC and probably won’t get them in time….

Maybe someone could lend you some bits? What d’you need?

and a Richard and Judy style “Welcome Back” to Peter P.

I will be expecting some quality piccys from you .

Shame you cant make it.
STM

I thank you
🙂

Never been away though, mate…. Just in disguise….
😉

Pete – am sorry that you won’t be there, presumably K won’t be either? I was rather hoping you would be official photographer, with the usual stipulation naturally 😀

ON TOPIC

Needed – Photographer needed to capture the spirit of the STW Swinley Forest Forum Ride. E-mail in profile. Thank you!

Square taper BB 73- 110mm or longer and a 5 arm CD Chain ring will do it… 🙂
Think i’ll show my face in the LBS tomorrow…

I shall try and show my face. (I’ll be the tall bloke looking lost, as I always do)

Hairychested, I will be getting the train there too. I’m just a little bit further into London around Syon Lane.

I bet Aleigh had this…

urmmm no, sorry to disappoint you! why do you think i’d possess such rubbish? i was into bros for goodness sake! 😆

luke (or maybe Matt) goss was great in Hellboy II

luke 😉

i was more interested in

to be honest 😉

Ooh yeah, she’s lovely! Is she coming on saturday? Please let it be so.

Why is she not my wife? Can’t understand that…

fingerbike- I’ve got to get a bb out of a borked frame, hang on, I’ll see what size it is… I think it’s a 73, as it’s got a spacer. Oh, forgot to measure it’s length, hang on… 113mm axle.

What tooth chainring? Got a 42 somewhere, I’m sure. Might have a 44t.

BTW, sorry about the rude word earlier, mods! Didn’t think that one was too bad. Soz.

re the drink after the ride, i won’t be able to make it cos i’m larging it in tenerife from sunday and need an early night! 8)

Is Psychle is out there lurking, i think you said you live in Islington? And that you are coming on Saturday? If soo….

Me and my carer are coming in a van. 3 seats in the front. Bung bike in back. Share costs (not expensive). Would you like a lift?

Only thing is, we need to know where abouts you are, see if you need picking up, what colour hair you have (some form of strange condition that the driver has applied), and what bike you ride?

Aleigh’s trip to Tenerife

Ah’ve still got it! It never went away!

you’re sooooo dead rudeboy

Oops!

Heh!

i hope your not this rude in real life?

I’m actually quite polite.

Look, to make it up to you, I’ll stick that Glen Medeiros tune on me phone, and we can have a little dance, eh?

Can’t say fairer than that, love…

Urmmm – no, people will stare!

Aw, come on! Proper teenagers at a party style; holding each other up because they are so drunk.

Ooh, I can almost taste the MD20/20…

wca will be bringing sloe gin…….

‘WCA’ + ‘alcoholic beverage’.

Hmm….

What could possibly go wrong?

I’ve just posted on the other Swinley thread about drinkies.
