Swinley’s Best Bits @ Swinley Forest
Feb 19 @ 10:30 am – 1:00 pm

As I’m going to be at Swinley, I thought it would be a good opportunity to re-run the popular “Swinley’s Best Bits” ride. This is an action packed 10 miles & it really does pack in lots. Starting on the Blue trail we follow that till the point it gets dull, then go off piste on a section of the Enduro course, before picking up the best of Red to the downhill trails. Our highlight there is the old full Labrynth, but scope to do a few of the other DH trails in that corner too.
The we hit Red 25 on the way to back via the Tank Traps and the final ace descent of Blue.

If you want a bit more info on the route, check out our report
here, otherwise come and see for yourself 🙂

Meet at the entrance to the trails at Swinley for a 10.30 start.
