WE AIM TO RUN TWO GROUPS AT ALL RIDES SOMETIMES IT IS NOT POSSIBLE _ ANY CHANGES WILL BE ADDED TO THE RIDES LIST FRIDAY BY 8PM.
Swinley Forest is an area of Windsor Forest located between Bracknell and Bagshot to the west of the A322. The car park is at The LookOut Discovery Centre which has toilets and a cafe (with outdoor seating for a drink and cake after.) You will need to pay for parking - we try and park in the car park to the far right adjacent to the road. Meet up either in the car park or at the start of the trail (blue) by 10am.
There is a blue and a red trail and we normally combine the two trails to make one big circuit. To get an idea of the riding have a look at this video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-jsm320gWyk Everything is rollable or has a non-jump line. It is a great place to ride and we have had some great rides here over the years. A lot of the single track is gravel but there is some mud, and the tank traps may be full of water!
Tea/coffee and cake after in the cafe!

This start point can take in Wilverley Inclosure, Holmsley, Brownhill, Setthorns and the old railway line between Burley and Brockenhurst and any number of loops can be added to this basic framework and distance can be easily altered to match the composition of the various ride groups. No really nasty hills but lots of good fast tracks.
The ride has no major hills and the tracks are forgiving and the surfaces hold up well, although there can be some persistent sticky patches even in the driest of conditions.
NB there will be 3 groups out on this ride. Usual Fast and Medium plus a slower group ideal for those who want to try out the club or those who have not ridden with the Club for a while.

We will probably use the technical red and fast flowing blue trails, and possibly do a short route out of the park. If you want a challenge there is always Butser Hill. Great place to ride with some great hills and views.
NB 4 hours car parking is approx £8 but we will be using the trails.
We will confirm which car park and meeting place nearer the time.
