Hope you're ok this morning Maj!  http://t0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcS...p-fyWha3RU7D6uw

Spring is almost here and the trails are drying fast so it’s time to get riding. Now is your chance to buy a new season annual Permit to cycle in Swinley Forest at the same price as last year. Just £20 buys you a whole years riding on the tracks, trails and fire roads of the forest.
Swinley Forest Cycling (the partnership between The Crown Estate as land owner and Gorrick as licensed operator of the cycling permit scheme) have already been busy repairing and improving trails for the coming year. We are also putting the final touches to a five year plan to improve the existing singletrack network and build a number of new trails. You will be pleased to learn that a larger proportion of your permit fee will now be invested in an expanded trail network. More news will follow during April. Please remember that annual permits expire at the end of this month and it would help us greatly if you could buy your permit now rather than having a large number of orders to process on the 31 March. Thank you once again for your support and watch out for further news on Swinley Forest Cycling. GORRICK MBC |

QUOTE(adown @ Mar 20 2011, 05:36 PM) Hi everyone, Me and my brother are looking for a new place to ride and Swinley seems a pretty good bet. Wondered whether anyone is planning a 'meet some strangers and ride with them' meeting next Saturday 26th March? If so, I'd love to come along and follow someone who knows (at least roughly) where they're going/what they're doing! Cheers Bump? |

I can't make it tonight, which is a shame because last night was great and it's a beautiful day out there! It's still a bit patchy in places Ben, but it's definitely getting quicker. Some of the new stuff is starting to settle nicely now. |

Ive now got the email.
As much as enjoy seagull, stickler etc, I do hope this is not a five year plan to turn all trails into yellow pavements. Might be taking some novice riders out on sunday morning round swinley. If anyone wants a slow novice ride, or knows anyone who is cautious to go out with the bigger boys(and girls), or just wants a lazy ride round the forest on hopefully a sunny warm spring day, now's their chance.

Kerr Hi Kerr, I might join if dont ride on Saturday. So far there is no one except some novices for Satruday. As for me - there is not big difference, providing that ride starts after 8:30 |
