Just got in from Swinley, top buzz.
I was thinking on the trail of maybe organising a two day thing with camping at Runway's End. If people could only make one of the days that'd be cool too.
The Saturday could be a leisurely start, setting up camp and then ride the local trails near me and Runway's End. There's more than enough there to fill a whole day, loads of XC stuff. A cross bike would probably work ok. We could hire the fire pit for the evening again or maybe hit up a curry house and pub.
Sunday morning could be a cooked camp breakfast and then I could chuck the bikes into the back of the van and take a crew down to Swinley. The trails there can get pretty full on so I'd recommend a mountain bike with at least front suspension, although I was riding rigid there up until a few weeks ago. I reckon you'll struggle with a cross bike though.
There is a hire centre there and I think this week they've just taken delivery of some new cannondales. Maybe if people were interested we could reserve them. It would be a pretty solid weekend of riding so some competency is preferred.
A few of you have expressed interest, I guess we just need to pick a date and check it's ok with Runway's End. Failing that we could always do some sneaky wild camping.
26th / 27th July?
