Thetford Ride-Sunday 7th June

Hi,

Who's up for a ride at Center Parcs, I mean Thetford sorry!

Dynamos and cheap bike locks all round!!!

We're planning to meet in the Brandon car park at 10.00 am to ride to High Lodge, where the best routes are. Parking at High Lodge is £6.00 a head, whereas at Brandon, its free but is a smaller car park.

Use the forestry commission website to find info on Thetford http://www.forestry.gov.uk/thetfordforestpark for directions.

Please reply if you are interested

Hell yeah!

Come on peeps, show some interest!

Yep I'm up for It

Im working

i am up 4 it do you want be to drive this time as i can take some one..........

I'm happy to take a couple of people in the van as long as someone can read the map for directions!

I'm in + happy to read map and contribute to diesel if you're up for giving me a lift Darren.

Yep cool with me Steve, i'll reserve the front seat and map for you!

Guys,

The interest is low for a ride that is two hours away. We could hit Swinley on Sunday or tomorrow?

Any thoughts? I can't do Swinley tomorrow.

Andy,

What do you expect with 6 days notice :-) (yeah I know its in the calendar but how many people look in there)

If people can’t make Thetford I’d imagine they can’t make Swinley either.

Thetford - Sat - cloudy, Sun - Heavy Rain

Thetford in heavy rain, please not again! Either way I think I sould keep the mud tires on, lol! Swinley seemed to have more heavily maintained trails that might hold up to the rain better (plus it is 1/2 an hour closer), but that is just my $0.02.

At the end of the day I just want to get out and ride ! As much as I enjoy our local trails it is always good to get out and play somewhere else for a change.

If you do change location be sure to let Woody know!!!!!!!!!!

OK, sounds like it's not going to come together. I'm going to take a rain check on Thetford, but am definately up for a going another day (next couple of weekends are unfortunately out).

Will probably go for a ride at Aspley tomorrow.

Cheers,

Steve
