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 or hybrid 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.

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.

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