As the title, I need someone or a group to ride with on the 3rd if anyone can accomodate me.

I'll probably be riding Swinley Forest (Bracknell) on the 3rd, but I don't think that is very local to you? It's XC not DH or AM terrain

I'm at Swinley this weekend after changing dates due to lack of peeps on the 3rd.

Will be at the lookout at 8am :-) Look for the guinness foam ibis

Yes i'd say it's a venue suitable for all abilities, it's not waymarked so it's not graded, if you get shown around by someone who knows the trails then they will be able to say what's ahead.

As mentioned above it's more XC (Cross-Country) focused.

If you didn't want to do any trails there is miles of Fireroad and there is a route that is Fireroad and basic singletrack.

Swinley is the ideal introduction to muddy fun on two wheels. Not too difficult and loads of fun.

Thaks Atom, but if i'm going to drive for 2 hours I think i'd rather have something a bit more 'singletracky' to be honest. I appreciate the offer though.

It is Singletracky or it can be Fireroady it's both. smile

But I am not sure i'd travel more than hour for it so probably something you might want to check out if you ever down this way on something else. If you like Singletrack you will like Swinley.
