I live in Northolt, UB5 and do most of my riding on my lonesome. Looking for some riders to ride with off road or road. I usually stay local for road rides and frequently drive to the chilterns which I know well for off road.

Open to car sharing, trips away etc.

I'm in Uxbridge, busy until exams finish mid may, but could meet up after, email in profile if you fancy it.

I sometimes ride out to black park and langley park, fairly flat, couple of interesting trails but not great.

Sometimes go up the canal to denham, then across to bayhurst wood, mad bess wood, copse wood, and park wood nearer you, not exactly DH runs but relatively interesting wood trails with some small gradients, only been a couple of times so don't know my way round yet.

Alternatively towards watford is whippendale woods, there's quite a few good bits in there, although it's 10 miles to cycle for mediocre trails so I don't often bother.

In uxbridge near the athletics stadium (just north of it on google maps), there's an old ski slalom track which is now muddy and suitable for a couple of runs, quite good fun. There were also some jumps in a woods nearby, don't know if they're still there.

In all honesty, it's a rubbish area for mtb really, a couple of small isolated woods with nothing to interlink them but roads with awful drivers. I try to get away to Swinley or elsewhere if I'm going for a proper ride. Going to the Chilterns tomorrow for the first time.

Try getting in touch with the guys from West Drayton Mountain Bike Club. They usually have quite a few rides going on in that area and further afield.
