I live just down the road from swinley forest. Its at the Look out center right??

I wouldnt mind getting back out on a mountain bike again. I hung up my racing SPDs about 5 years ago. I moved up from cornwall and packed in my racing. I really miss it.

It would be cool to get back out and get back into some form of shape. If only to make it easier to get my leathers on!!! I try to get out on my road racer but things always get in the way and I end up packing it in. Doh!!

Ive still got my trusty old Cannondale. Wouldnt mind going out during the day let alone the night. Perhaps I should drag my sorry self up to swinley and sort it out.

Now wheres my Multi tool and drinks bottle.

There's a few groups of us that go riding from the Volunteer pub, near Abinger Hammer in Surrey (down the hill from Newlands corner), 7pm most Wednesday nights. Go around Leith Hill etc...

May of seen you, went to Abinger with a load of mates just before christmas for a pub meal, saw a load of guy's I didn't know out on bikes.

If I go out I used to meet up at Wescott.

You probably won't get away with cheap lights. If you want to go full on and have a good ride you will need to spend a bit. £100 minimum if you're lucky, more like £150 really. I sell a lot (have the shop and a busy club ride every Wednesday evening) and by far the best value (quality, price, reliability and function) is the Hope Technology twin LED unit. I will do them for £160 (RRP 175) to members on here. Loads of our guys use them.
