Hello all,

Can anyone suggest any easily navigable nights rides in the Farnborough/ Yateley/ Bracknell areas.

First time night riders so needs to be fairly simple so we can concentrate on the ride and not getting lost.

Swinley is a favorite however i cannot do it without getting lost in the daylight never mind at night!! Also, i know that there are groups out there, Tunnel Hill Trolls spring to mind, who organise rides, but feel that fitness levels need to increase a little before holding everyone up!

Distance not too much of an issue but some good trails are a must! Lighting is also not an issue!

Thanks in advance.

Andy

    Plenty of people do night rides at Swinley and Tunnel Hill. The Trolls do some slower rides (not sure at night though).

    Depends whether you're happy to start at 8pm, but if you are I'd be up for a swinley big loop at night. Happy to lead (know Swinley with my eyes closed nowadays).
