Halloween night ride: swinley forest
So, I can;t believe I didn;t think of this earlier.. and I know this is very last minute:
But is anyone up for a Halloween Night Ride Sunday 31st (tomorrow... I know!).
Could meet at the Lookout at 7:30 and go for a potter about.
Otherwise if too short notice we coudl arrange a belated nightride next Friday evening.
Any takers?

Not an experience night rider so don't expert crazy speed from me on the single tracks but I will give it a go
To late for today and as I have just ridden a 42 km route in the downs south this morning, I am not sure if my legs would enjoy it ;-)
Feel free to email/pm me if you are doing it
I'm yet to confirm my shifts for this week , if i'm free , definately up for it ! 8)
No to worry. My dog always find her way back to the car park
Failing that I am usually pretty good although I have never trial my skills in the dark
I guess I will have to take my Garmin just in case

Weather forecast is looking good , petty much like tonight .
Can I suggest we park over the road in the tennis place , left then left -the corner nearest the entrance . Look Out car park is a car thieve's paradise now it's so dark . 8)
There's a couple of us out in Swinley Wednesday evening 6pm , all welcome .
@ Ollie . I've got a spare cateye your welcome to borrow to back up what you've got . It's not brilliant , but it did me fine last year 8)

I drive a black pickup (Nisaan Navara) and will have a dalmatian bouncing around in impetiance to go running in the woods.

I still haven't received my lights back so I might not make it either but we could make this a Friday night feature or once a month at least with maybe December to March exception as the ground freeze in the night and it is getting dangerous (and freaking cold too)
Just to give you an idea, this is a typical route I do in daytime during winter as it although is it mostly single track it does stay mostly usable during the wet and cold months.
I would half that on a night ride. At least during winter...

So I won't be able to make it this Friday but if anyone is up for it I should be able to do next Friday
I'll do a role call mid week in this topic.
Check out the Swinley Forest thread on MTB Britain . They get out once or twice a week , a good bunch to be with who really know their way around.
See you Friday possibly . Stan 8)
What time is good - 5pm 6pm 7pm ? I'm easy tomorrow .
Look slike the battery is dead completely so I need to pull out. Really sorry... pretty gutted actually as I've been wanting to do this night ride for ages!!!!
Hopefully another time? I have a mate who may be able to let me use his battery over hte weekend but I won't see him until tomorrow.
Again, really sorry!
Clint.
So 18:30ish. Although I will park at the Esporta parking (black Nissan navara), I will be waiting on my white focus first next to the entrance where go ape is as I can have my dog (Dalmatian) run around on that car park as it is too busy and she will only get herself run over.
So see you there
