THE Swinley (supersexualsuperfun) all-welcoming December FUN RIDE!

anyone bringing a go-pro type thing or camera along?

Mr Poddy takes excellent pics – I guess he could be persuaded?

Why did I just read that as Mr Proddy?

Romano Prodi, former Italian Prime Minister and President of the European Comission? Is he coming too?

What about Kofi Annan?

“Please, please let me come to Swinley next Sunday December the fifth”

desmond tutu is allowed, that is all x

Tutu and a suede jacket as the dress code?!?

I’m not wearing a tutu for nobody!

DESMOND TUTU HE IS COME????

Yippeeeeee! 🙂

Oh Go on then, I’m in. I know the area well too, so let me know if I can be helpful?

I’m not wearing a tutu for nobody!

Please Dez, pwetty pleeeeeaz. I’ll resist the urge to quote Con-Air at you and say ‘thanks for the heads up’ repeatedly.

Jeez, this is gonna be some gathering of weirdos. 😯

I will feel totally out of place. 😳

I will feel totally out of place.

Yeahp, you’ll feel like the weird one, amongst the circus of freaks!! 😯

It’s not my usual “window” for riding but I’ll see if I can get a pass (just to show some moral support for Snr Consequence). I have been known to lead people into the Labyrinth in the past … and they followed.

andy? is that you?

Ohhh jeezus. What’s happened? Desmond Tutu? Lordy lord…..

Yes, I was planning on taking some pikkchures. 🙂

(But I’m not leading a group. I always get roped into that and I cannae be rrrrsed to be honest! 🙂 )

Phil – t’is me 🙂

TSY = bastard

Everyone else… it’s true, I am! When you see him be sure to thank him for the h… 😆

Snow permitting, my ‘tache will be wheeling its way up the M3 on Sunday by the look of it. It could be alone on the journey, as the good Dr will be up that way anyway and El Mulletus will be donning the lycra and making the journey from the West alone.

Has anyone got a duster for a long forgotten bike? 😳

horay 🙂 DrBike/Andy is basically the man that welcomed me into the world of mtb, he’s responsible for my new weight loss, level of motivation and my presence on this forum…. so feel free to blame him for my ramblings 😉

it’d be great to have you along!

I’ll see what I can do, these days I have little input into the decision making process.

well it’d be great to see you again if you can make it 🙂

Wet sleet in Swinley Forest currently … plenty of time for frosty conditions to return though.

if the forecast stays the same then it’ll stay below zero until friday at least…..

whether its solid frozen mud or wet mud, its still fun 😀

i’d rather go for frozen though as it’ll all run a bit faster and less cleaning afterwards!

and dry. Never forget how lovely dry is.

EDIT: Just for you C_G.

I think today should be cat day, lets just get it out of our system and move on like grown ups.

Was really starting to enjoy the rock hard trails there and reaching ridiculous speeds on the descents. 8)

No thanks, I don’t want to see pics of cats. I HATE CATS.

Polite request – can you edit and delete it, pretty please? Ta awfully!

Thank you kindly Torminalis, much appreciated. 🙂

How very odd.

Only once though. this is in no way a representation of how I may behave in the future. 😉

you WILL like cats, you will like cats…..

phil – a word in your shell-like … no kids and no cats. C_G rules innit. 🙄

And no pi**taking on Sunday concerning my rubbish skills otherwise I’ll cry. 😥

trust me there will be no laughing at others skills or lack of its in the rules innit!

if there’s any laughing it will be directed towards people taking themselves too seriously. if anybody is riding badly i will out-crap them and ride into a tree to make them feel better.

cos i’m nice like that.

Don’t worry C_G I will be there to lower the levels of bike controls to such a point that everyone else will look like GODS!

Now SS or Fixie for snow riding?

no kids

Waddya mean? I’ve now got to tell my handsome little boy he can’t come to meet everyone at Swinley?

No, hold on CG; this is a ride for anyone: if people want to bring their kids, then that’s up to them. As long as they are aware that some of the language might be a bit ‘fruity’. And you think you’re bayd? I’ve hardly ever heard you swear! Compared to me, you’re fragrant and pleasant of speech…

I’m not bothered who turns up. As long as I don’t get knocked off by someone’s stupid dog (if this happens, I will sue you, and I have a powerful legal team of top London Lawyers, so be warned).

I wouldn’t have thought bringing dogs is advisable really, if there’s going to be loads of people. Might be ok with just you and yer dog out for a ride, but when there’s seven hundred and forty three riders, it might be a tad difficult.

Small basketed dogs are ok though.

As long as I don’t get knocked off by someone’s stupid dog

What about if you get knocked off by a drunkerd Yeti??

Then I’ll sue it. Take it for every last penny it’s got.

woah their my children, now lets all have a seat and listen to my words of wisdom.

As much as its a casual ride (as there is indeed nothing stopping dezB bringing his kids) i think C_G was making a good point (excuse me for paraphrasing and wording it my own way to shorten the point on this one..) about it being a lot of “adults” blowing off steam in a real life environment that doesn’t have swear filters.

even if C_G doesnt swear much in your opinion you haven’t met mrsconsequence elfin…. she aint no lady when it comes to language choice and as much as i’ve tried to find one, she lacks a social-awareness button or volume control 🙁

by the looks of it there will probably be a couple of people bringing snifters of alcohol, and a good chance that some might turn up with the intention of stepping off the side of a trail for a cheeky funny smelling cigarette. if dezB is cool with exlpaining that to da kidz then as an adult he makes his own choice innit blud. 🙂

in the spirit of the ride i really dont want to start making super strict rules about no kids, but at the same time i really dont want to have to ask or expect the larger group to adjust their behaviour if under 18’s come along…

make sense? or am i just confusing things? (in the good natured spirit of both the ride and the thread i’d like no arguing too)

No, hold on CG; this is a ride for anyone: if people want to bring their kids, then that’s up to them. As long as they are aware that some of the language might be a bit ‘fruity’. And you think you’re bayd? I’ve hardly ever heard you swear! Compared to me, you’re fragrant and pleasant of speech…

Elf – I like to comment on threads where I feel I have some valid knowledge and experience.

Unlike you, I do not feel the need to pontificate on every single Forum thread.

As you know, I have been to many Forum Rides and, indeed, organised many myself. I am also a mum to now adult kids and therefore perfectly entitled to voice my opinion that this is not the place for children.

Why, you yourself admit that your language is colourful. Frankly I would not want a child of mine (even adult child) to be riding with you! These are stressful times we live in and STW’ers really need to chill out. If that includes behaving badly by swearing, farting, drinking etc., so be it.

Now step away from that keyboard and go ride your bike.

I’m not really bringing my kid! He’s got the Big Bike Bash, the rest of mountain biking is MINE!

Blimey- dog, kid, whatever next? you lot will believe I’m bringing my wife! Hahaha!!

Am just aback from a little pootle over Swinley and it turned into blizzard conditions! Managed some singletrack which was interesting as there is now quite a covering of snow.
