I'm based in Aylesbury, Bucks and know a total of zero people who ride an MTB except my girlfriend. Don't get me wrong, going out for a ride with the lady is fun and she is good but it's not challenging nor does it push me and I have to ride slow.
Every now and then I'd like to ride with someone else who like to tear around the trails or who is up for joining in on a 12hr/24hr race etc.
If there is anyone up for a ride in the bucks/herts area, give me shout.
There's a huge Bucks MTB club on face book always out and doing big trips away etc we sre more Oxford way but regularly ride Chilterns when weather permits.
Yes - try BucksMTB. www.bucksmtb.co.uk The next open group ride is Saturday 26th Jan, from Wendover Woods main car park. Check the website for details and how to register.
If you join, only £15, then there are regular club member led rides you can join.
Very friendly, inclusive and sociable club.

I saw that site, unfortunately I can't make that open group ride as I'm competing in a dualathlon that day, but i'll try and make the next in Feb. It seems like a good idea to meet some people in the area.

Awesome, never been on a night ride in around here before. Haven't been on a night ride for a long time and would be really keen on this. I'll join in on the first Wednesday of Feb.
Cheers ya'll

@ Munqe-chick
When you say that you're more Oxford way where abouts and how many is
we? where and how often do you ride? I've newly located to King's
Sutton near Banbury and as of yet am yet to hear of a local group to
ride with. Nearest I know of is in Leamington Spa.
Stee1e,it's in Miswell Lane HP23 4BX
@ Tymbian, there is now a large group of us who are mates we haven't created any form of club but most of us have met/got in contact via threads like this on STW! They (as I can never make it) regularly ride on urban Tuesday night rides around Oxford, then some do extra nights on thursdays locally or in the Chilterns. Weekends when the weather is better there is always a group going out in the Chilterns... we occasionally even do **cough cough** rode rides.
email in profile if interested.
@ Mubar-chick..thanks for the heads-up. I'd definately be interested in an off-rod ride when I can fit it in. Tried to mail you yesterday and it bounced back so my mail address is ttrewin55@g00glemail.c0m
Looking forward to it..
I meant @ munqe-chick...B-)
tizzzle i'm coming for the ride tomrrow. Had to cancel the other race. I'll be riding the green rigid on-one. Say hello if you come for the ride
Cheers
