    Still awaiting supplies. Bike no good until they arrive :(

    *If* something has turned up today when I get home or if by some miracle Royal Mail deliver something other than junk mail tomorrow morning, then hopefully Sunday, otherwise not going out.

    A whole new trail at Swinley!.... Berm-fest.... All good. :D

    Lack of riding causes Buckaroo to be totally out of practise and slip slide and slop into nearly every dip and tree around... Not all good. :cry:

    Busy this wknd with Mum stuff, deff up for something next weekend, I need help getting back up to speed.

    Evening all, I'm out and about around Peaslake tomorrow morning. Dry(ish) trails and the possibility of sunshine? What isn't there to like! Might not get there bang on ten Naveed, so if you could PM me your number just in case that would be grand

    Where where where? Also found some new bits, between the big drop and the Labyrinth trails. A couple of nice jumps and a few big berms.

    The gulley is riding fantastically at the moment, kept overshooting on the last one it's so fast :roll:

    Didn't enjoy Dear Stalker much though, kept turning in too much and not railing the berms properly.

    Got the parts. Fixing bike. Might be out this afternoon. Should be good for SH tomorrow though.

    DK - Swinley is running really nicely today. A bit damp which means you've got loads of grip but generally nice and fast.

    I'm out tomorrow. Bit of a throat/cough. Did a gentle one at Swinley this morning, which was fun, but I think SH would be a bit much.

    Bah, bit of a cold, yeah. A good ride out in the country is a cure for that.

    Just got over mine I picked up earlier in the week and ready to ride again. Luckily it didn't come to much. Making curry now to finish it off.

    So, shock service was pretty simple. Though in all took an hour what with preparation, general lazing about and constant referring to the web to make sure I'm doing it right. Now I know, it should be quick job. Then did the pivots at the same time which took somewhat longer, and jammed my finger in the bike stand in the process. Couldn't be bothered to get out after that, so tomorrow it is.

    Doesn't have to be an epic tomorrow. SH good, but if more likely to convince people to go to Swinley, that will do me too.

    10am start would be fine.

    I might be up for an easy one at Swinley as it's easy for me to duck out, but not up to any epic climbs.
    Let me know if you decide on Swinley.

    Anyone else about tomorrow, Supra, Atz, bungalistic, pieman? Were you thinking of a Sunday ride?

    Actually, just heard that the Stickler at Swinley has been much extended and some other improvements. Hmm, not sure which to do :)

    Hi all, I'm looking for folk to go riding with tomorrow. Is anyone heading out riding from South London sort of area?

    Lots of people are talking about Swinley and sounds good. Is it easy to find/follow the tracks etc?

    Cheers

    DK - Rode today and am full of manflu so should try to kick it. Might see me at the lookout as I lost something today and going to call to find out if it was handed in.

    le8it - It's not too hard to navigate but best to get someone to show you the key places

    Okay. Naveed is up for a couple of hours SH. Stan SH. Cooldad Swinley maybe. le8it newcomer, Swinley perhaps. Atz with manflu (MTFU :D ).

    D'oh. Choices.

    le8it, me and cooldad can show you some routes round Swinley if you like. Maybe bump into Atz and convince him to ride a bit. Stan, up for a bit of Swinley instead?

    How about 10am @ The Lookout at Swinley then?

    Turned out my lost keys were in my glovebox so I just stayed at home other than a quick trip to buy some dry lube.

    Did a gentle pootle with DK and Stan. The new Stickler is great fun, big berms on the new section.
