Ruislip Woods Adventure - MTB only

Ruislip Woods Adventure - Mountain Bike Only

Starting and finishing at Northwood Hills Station, this route is 8 miles long and 90% offroad and traffic free!

We will go offroad to Ruislip Woods, Mad Bess Woods and stop to enjoy the views (and cafe) at Ruislip Lido.

You will need a mountain bike with knobbly tyres and front suspension for this ride as there are lots of undulating tracks, tree roots and the possibility of mud! :-)

There are a couple of steep sections to test your stamina so it's not a beginner's ride, although we will wait for everyone at the top of hills.

Bring your sense of adventure and fun - we are venturing into the woods and so beware, there are likely to be nettles and low hanging tree branches so please wear long trousers (and/or long sleeve top), a helmet and some glasses to protect your eyes.

Make sure you have lights front and rear as it can get dark in the woods!

Meeting at Northwood Hills Station at 12:45pm for a 1:00pm ride start.

Or you can join me at Watford Metropolitan Line station at 12:20pm to get the 12:31pm Tube to Northwood Hills, arriving at 12:42pm.

If coming from Rickmansworth, Metropolitan Line to Moor Park is at 12:25pm, ariving 12:42pm (change at Moor Park)

Don't forget your Oyster, contactless card, or Travelcard, some money for snacks & drinks, one or two spare inner tubes, tyre levers and any tools you may need to remove your bike wheel in case of a puncture (if you don't have quick release wheels).

Most of all, enjoy the ride!
