Riding at Swinley next Saturday, meeting at 9.30 and aiming to start at 10.00 but can change this to a bit later. Carpark gets busy so thats the reason to start early. Need to leave by 3.30/4pm.

Location : Swinley Forest, Bracknell.

Directions (via m25 clockwise), m25 > m3 > right at the rounabout onto a322, through the traffic lights, then take the left fork when the road splits, then left at the next roundabout onto the B3430, Entrance to the Lookout / discovery Centre is on the left, 300m or so down this road.

Postcode : RG12 7QW

Parking is free, but you need a permit to ride, £2, more details here:

Plan is to ride 4-5 miles xc, then play on the downhill runs, push back up. then 4-5 miles back cafe/centre.

Any takers...

I would have said I was a deffinate but since I struggled to get petrol today I am unable to say I will be able to fill up the car in time.
My car is so low on fuel I will be cycling to work on the bike.
Epping is looking more likely for me I thnk unless my local petrol stations open again before then

Great, see you 9.30 :thumbup:

Carpark is quite big and can fill up quite quickly at the weekend, aim to park to the right of the discovery centre/bike hire. If its busy theres an overflow carpark at the back on the fireroad.
