edited December 2010 in MTB rides
Hi,

I ride 20/30km in Swinley Forest (avoiding fire track when possible) 2/3 times a week including at night usually on Tuesday (but flexible) and Friday (so that I don't have to suffer watching Friday night TV with my partner)
I came across at least 6 other riders last night (from afar) so as it seems I am not the only mad guy around so if anyone one would be interested in joining me, just post here
I normally start/finish from Go Ape at the LookOut around 18:30/19:00 and stay out for 2.5 to 3.5 hours

    This TUE if you plan to ride, I could join you ... hope I will survive morning trip to dentist and mash those pedals in FURY.
    What could have been (Video)

    I'll choose not put too much stake into someone's opinion who is admittingly terrible though

    Sorry but this Tuesday is a no go for me.
    I would unlikely to be home before 20:30 so that a starting time sometimes after 21:00
    A bit late to ride even for me

    I seems to have someone wanting to join in the fun on Friday (from MBTBritain) if you are up for it
    Else next Tuesday would be fine
    I will PM you my number for future ref

    I hope you guys have good base layer because a freeze is coming!!!!
    -2oC feeling like -8oC :shock:
    Might not venture on Sandhurst academy grounds as they are high and way too open to the elements for that kind of weather.

    well that was fun.
    Called it quit after 2 hours & 18km
    No one died but considering the temperament of my borrowed bike, I think I will pass on tomorrow morning ride to concentrate on next week when my beloved Focus should be all mended.
