Not sure if I'll be able to make it tonight as I'm getting over (man) flu!

If you're not giving the ride a silly tag line then I am not coming, not even for a beer!

It's a long time since I've joined your Thursday ride

my mate (who could usually only ride Wednesdays) has now moved to Brizol to start a new life... so, I'll come along if that's cool?

Do you ride most of the trails down there of just tend to stick to the jumps/ workman run?

We go for the trails more than jumps/workmans.

We found a bunch more (new to us, obvs) near the entrance on the left last Saturday. Including that tasty drop on the side of the hill.

don't jump myself, wheels on the ground unless its a drop!

Sounds good. I have seen quite a few of the full face helmet crew down there and wondered if it was you guys, that's not really my scene. It would be good to ride with you guys as I'm sure I don't know half of the trails that are down there. Do you ride every Thursday?

There is normally a good few of us out every Thursday . We are definitely not the gnarr full face lot, more laid back than that. Some of the guys are awesome and some not so (mainly me) but its all about fun.

I won't be there this week as I'm doing my IRATA Level one course this week. Tomorrow is assesment day too so can't break myself on the bike!

Rode there last year just before they bulldozed everything.

Haven't been back since. What is running like now? Have the old trails been repaired and are there new ones?

Normally ride around Swinley and Farnborough way but if the trails are better might make a trip down one evening.

Could anyone post a map in a higher resolution? Seem to remember there was a link somewhere but looks like its been updated.

Thanks again

Thanks 'World Class Accident' might try it one evening. As I remember last year it was a bit of a swamp then they destroyed all the good trails.

steve - come to the thank you ride next Saturday, we will be riding most of the good trails at some point. The swampiness is greatly reduced and the "Apocalyptic destruction of Lordswood" may have been slightly over stated
