I wouldnt bother mate you would be better off in the peaks or the chase as its over 260 mile round trip for you. I am only 50 miles each way but will be passing on this opportunity.

I’m looking forward to meeting up with all the new friends I’ve met over the past 4 months group rides.

You enjoy your peaks ride though ?

@JetSetDemo has hiked his Levo all over the UK to attend Forum rides, pretty sure outside of Rob he's the only member to have made all of them, and for that he is rightly a forum legend because without members like him we would have only had 2 or 3 people turning up - the 260 miles it what makes the trip, not what prevents it.

I am looking forward to it, it’s a new place for me to experience and the company will be great! For anyone who has not been on a forum ride yet I can’t recommend it enough, I have made some real new friends this year just through making the effort to get involved. I can’t wait for the first 2 day ride maybe next summer? Then we could crack a few beers in the evening ✋?

Has anyone taken a look at the trail map on the Swinley bike hub website? If so where is that from? It’s got trails from all over the UK when you zoom out but can’t find a link to the original site?

The map that's linked off the swinley website is tailforks, it's a global map that users can add trails to, one of the ways I find new trails.

There are two official trails at swinley, the blue and the red, the red is a loop off the blue so you can ride both in one ride. Both are excellent trails, much easier than the stuff we rode last weekend but brilliant fun and very well designed. These are the trails:

There’s a lot more to Swinley beyond just the red and blue trails, especially the nearby Crowthorne Woods. Does anyone have any local knowledge beyond the reds and blues?

Sounds a great idea.....weekend piss up and riding your MTB.
one suggestion though....... nobody tell " Wiltshire warrior " about the trip.
Would have liked to come on this ride out but broken wrist has put a stop to it.
Hope you enjoy the ride lads......should be a good day out because he who cannot be mentioned isn't going.
P.s. If stews going, please look after him after watching that crash?
