A couple of us are planning to come up from Brighton. Both suffering injury & motivation issues so will join the slowest group.
Cheers
Just checking if PaulD is still coming and up for leading the fast group? 🙂
Mr and Mrs Ononeorange aim to get there too
I'd like to come - but need a lift from Brighton - anyone? 😀
I would like to be able to make this one too.

please please tell me that you're not just a normal scott... but an UBER scott?!
If I can cycle by then I'll come and can give anyone a lift from Brighton. Will be testing the hopefully-not-broken-anymore ankle this weekend on a turbo...
I'll come along for a leisurely pootle
excellent, the numbers are growing! 8)
Watch it though.
It could be a kid's face next time.

Hi phil, its flebby+4 now. Still waiting on the last one.
Sooo many riders! I hope theres a big cafe there with a giant teapot and that the cafe is made of cake?
I'll be there can you add me to the list, did reply before but seem to have been missed off
Cheers
its its not that people have been missed off 😯 sorry if anybody has got the impression that they've been left off, a few pages back i asked for people to add their names to the list via copy and paste so i can get an idea on numbers for CG who is trying to organise getting some discount vouchers for her LBS like the angel she is!
i didnt want to add peoples names from earlier as it felt like i was assuming everyone was definitely in 😳 sorry for the misunderstanding!
PaulD.. if you're out there can you confirm if you're still up for leading the fast group? 🙂
hi is it correct to assume that all-welcoming includes lurkers / newbies like me? and how fast is the fast group? its always hard to tell until you actually ride with people
PaulD here.
Still planning on leading the fast group.
Went for a recce yesterday and all was well, apart from the temporary closures.
Labyrinth left-left is very damaged on the approaches to the berms, but it just slows you down...I was on my rigid SS Inbred and had trouble keeping hold of the bars!
Looking forward to it all immensely.
You can always reach me on paul.r.davisAThotmail.co.uk if necessary...I have not read this thread for many days.
cheers paulD 🙂
ralph, be great to have you along!
Ice and snow fun in Scotland has fallen through. Furry thong needs a dry clean and I'll be ready. A working car would be helpful for the trip. Time to fettle the rust bucket.
i'm considering spending the whole of saturday cleaning the bike in excitement for the ride 😀
does anyone fancy leading a "medium" paced group? the numbers are looking good and 4 groups might be an idea:
1) paulD leading a fast group
2) thisisnotaspoon leading a second fast group
3) someone leading a medium group
4) CG leading a pootle group
perhaps?

if CG is leading the slow group i'm sticking to her like glue....well stretchy glue waaaaay behind with a broom to sweep up with
Hey rOcKeTdOg - Aleigh will be sweeping, aided by mucho screaming and swearing. 😀
[b]Pootlers[/b] - just a wee bit of reassurance that there will be no pressure to ride anything you don't like the look of. I do tend to describe a trail if I feel pre-warning is helpful and always happy to explain in more detail. There will be opportunities for sessioning stuff too.
Worth emphasising that this will be a chilled group and the plan is to have fun and smiley faces. 8)
How fast will the pootlers be going? The added pressure of deciding which group to be in is all proving too much!
I quite fancy this 🙂
will I be OK on a XC bike?
Think it will be a trip down and sleep in the car hahaha
lexiekay - get yerself in the fast group cos I know you're no slouch!
lewismorgan - XC bike is absolutely fine! In fact any bike will be fine ... apart from a road bike. One thing you can guarantee is that every niche will be in attendance. 😀
anybody going to be coming through
Lincs, Cambridge Leicester or Rutland?
and is there any particular accomodation everybody is staying at after?
swinley was lovely yesterday, very little mud, trails running nicely, some dust on certain trails!
Nice seeing you at Swinley yesturday Phil. Looking forward to the ride!
Well this ride certainly has had some build up. Think you should do group photos of about 10 so you can post names underneath then non participants could vote post ride on 'sexiness' of characters involved 😀
ROLE CALL THREAD [url= http://www.singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/roll-call-for-the-stw-springley-swingley-swinley-sexy-party ]HERE.............. CLICKYCLICkY[/url]
can we keep he role call thread purely for the continually updated list of people planning to attend, use this thread for posting questions, requests for lifts and other suchness 🙂
Might be an idea for us group leaders to ensure we all head off in different directions?
oppps, posted my route in the wrong thread,
Anyway, it starts going out allong the fire road form go-ape right at the end, then up the singletrack to the start of 9yards/watsons wander, then I'll head off towards crowthorne woods for a bit before coming back allong seagull/stickler/tanktraps and heading in the general direction of the labrynth before coming back down the whole 9 yards to the lookout.
Blimey, Mr Spoon, you are organised! Make sure that knee of yours get better real soon. 🙂
Everyone else - please keep the list updated as I'll be handing out discount vouchers. Don't want to run out!
Blimey, it is going to be busy.
What fun.
haha, well i'm going out with the trolls for the first time tonight, then if that goes well I'll flog myself in the fast group on Thursday with some commuting inbetween, then if I'm organised Pangbourne from mountain high on Saturday and Reading CC club run on Sunday, should have a couple of hundred miles in my legs before next weekend.
The Trolls are a great bunch of guys! If you've not ridden in that area before, you're in for a treat.
hi
just received this message from one of my pals who is coming along to the ride:
"There is a notice on the Junction of the M3 J3 & A322 saying A322 shut from this point on 18th midnight to morning of 21st. This could be down towards Guildford or it could be down towards Bracknell which if you came on the M3 would be the route to the bike ride. Please check AA/RAC before leaving to show alternative routes. It could also be very busy around the area if A322 is shut. "
I am not from the area but my pal is, so this could be a good thing to be aware of?
Thanks for posting that up.
Alternative is to go off at junction 4 and you then have a 15 minute drive to Swinley, ie A331, A321, A3095, B3430.
Nice one cheers. Might have to take a map or shat-nav even.
Man the 'clicky link' is building up LOADS of poeple, really looking forward to it and a movie being produced as well... V excited now
Can you lot not organise one of these things on a day when I'm not working?
I'm going to have to start posting in the "get the feeling I'm not well liked in here" thread... 🙁
Call for helmet cams! get to the roll-call thread 🙂
Just a few words for folk in the Slow [s]Slackers[/s] Group - it will be chilled, nobody has to ride anything they don't want to, laughing is compulsory and your challenge is to be noisier than aleigh. 😀
If anyone has any questions, feel free to post on here or e-mail in profile.
Don't forget to buy a permit.
Looking forward to meeting everyone. 8)
Hold the front page!
Just back from recce'ing a route for Sunday and thought my eyes were deceiving me. 😯
The latest 'must have' accessory for walking in Swinley Forest - a bird cage! I kid you not. Not any old bird cage mind, a white metal one, the sort you have for an exotic feathered creature.
Was quite tempted to ask the walkers what exactly they were hoping to catch as the pheasant that has reappeared would definitely not be able to squeeze in it!
I thought it was a trek remedy 9.9? Well the pople with them walk a lot of the fun bits so they can't be MTB'ers :-p
Did anyone in the slow group run a GPS route? I want to see if I could keep up, I am very unfit!
Cheers
