We got out this afternoon on with thel33ter's new singlespeed (In his words his Speedily Singular Thingy), nice to get back from a ride dry and not have to clean tons of mud off the bike.
Planning to join the STW monster ride next Sunday, presumably will see some of you there? |

For those who are bored of Swinley already I'm considering to do a loop around Chobham Common on Saturday. It's not technical or particularly demanding but Marc is hoping to come out of retirement and wants an easy re-introduction to riding

For those of you who have not been to swinley for a while. Here is a little reminder.
Spring has Sprung in Swinley Forest Sorry about the heavy breathing but i had to ride ahead and get into position and then try and catch up. Not convinced with the editing software or my Editing. My need to try a different package. If anyone has any suggestions for good editing software, i would really appreciate that. Enjoy |

PM me and i'll see what i can do to help Phil, its only a panasonic lumix tz10 i use for taking stills. Its got good quality video though. I am planning on taking some more footage but its just a bit of fun for me. I had problems trying to export this though - got weird artifacts when trying to export it to hd format. I might try and create a professional mtbing movie and have floated the idea with some of the swinley regulars. Can't remember if they agreed to it or not. Anyway, working on finding a way of stabalizing the camera and mounting it properly.  Maj |

Hey Maj, something like this can help stabilise things whilst still allowing free movement and lightweight, easy deployment etc. It may be a bit overkill but I've used one to good effect.

Planning to be at the STW thingy on Sunday, probably in the fat bastard group. See some of you there. We'll probably ride down as parking will probably be a nightmare.
