Does anyone on here ride at Swinley? Just getting back in to riding and went there for the first time last night, really highlighted how unfit I am! (And how fearless I used to be!)

Would be good to have someone to ride with on the odd occasion to follow through the trails and build myself up.

It's a great place to ride, but due to my location only get there 5-6 times a year. I'm pretty sure there's a few PH'ers who are local.

Its good. Busy on weekends. Very efficient use of terrain. Lots of elevation changes for a completely flat geography. They have done it well.

Yep, live less than a mile from the Lookout so am up there several times a week (was out last night too, 6.30-8.00, so possibly passed you?).

Hit me up if you fancy a ride sometime - happy to take it easy if you want, or go hell-for-leather if you want someone to chase!

You Bracknell based?

Possibly did I was there from 7.30 until 8.30 on the blue trail, I'm over in Thatcham so it's bit of a drive but nothing closer I don't think!

That would be good mate think I will be more confident and push myself more following someone. Going to try and head over again before I go back to work next sat so I'll drop you a message.

If you are on Facebook, this is a good group to join: https://www.facebook.com/groups/SwinleyforestMTB/

I'm up there every so often, not a huge amount but it's worth pinging me to see if I'm going. I'm not the quickest, but happy to wander around with others

Greenham Common has a couple of fun trails if you are after an hour of hacking about without a drive.
