London town - Swinley Adventures

Looking for some Sunday ride cohorts in and around London. I'm west, ealing way. Like old GTs and reminiscing about cosmic trail and the grizedale forest. Nice to meet the rest of the SE group.

I'm not too far, very close to jct 14/M25, near Heathrow.

I've been known to wander around Swinley Forest now and again.

Hi Steve - nice to meet you

I'm currently spending some quality time falling off this:-



Howz about yerself, TL?

hi steve
just looked at the forest
looks awesome - how often have you been there?
about 45 mins drive for me

i've got a 92 karakoram in bits
and a 97 zaskar almost finished and ready for testing
oh and a 97 cannondale cad2 for bombing to work on

be up for agreeing a date to hit the trails

any others interested?

Ride Swinley or Surrey Hills most weekends, either retro or modern.

I've been to Swinley on occasions since 1992, so know my way around it a bit. Given the time (I've 3 jobs at present) I can get there weekends and weekday nights. I'm a bit slow these days, but if you don't mind waiting top/bottom of hills, I'll gladly show you some nice trails there that you won't find on any map.

Searched swinley on you tube, looks like there's plenty to have a go at. I'd love to take you up on the offer Steve. I don't think i'll be waiting for you mind.

A weekend would be better for me, I work in central London so difficult to get out of the city and past the kids.

Hi,
I would be interested if the date fits and my knees aren't playing me up.
As I work shifts so my Sundays aren't always free.
Swinley's not that far from me as I live near J2/3 of the M40.
Heard that it's a good place to ride from someone at work who's ridden there.

Hi there
whereabouts are you exactly.
i think you may be very close to me
i'll send some suggested dates tonight and we can see what works for everyone.
more the merrier
