Swinley 27/12/10 report

An elite few of us meet at Swinley Forest on Monday 27, together with a 
local guide. Even though there was some confusion as to the ride being 
cancelled.

The conditions were excellent and the paths were mainly dry and relatively 
snow free, some of the bridal paths were icy but we only used them to get 
between sections of single track. So it did not affect the ride.

We covered all the classic sections including the cork screw, labyrinth, the 
wall, the gorrick track, deer stalker, tank traps and a number of other 
sections I can’t remember the names of.

The snow was relatively clear on most of the single track so it was not too 
bad.

But it adds to the fun of the ride. And was definitely better than Epping mud

As there was no good pubs in close proximity we had the debrief over a tea 
and bacon roll.

Next time I must remember not to take the 29er as it was a bit too long for 
the tight twisty single track.

Big thanks to Andy for guiding us around.
