Hey

I have not seen any cardiff riders, considering we have the best trails anywere.

Looking for people to bike with, as my mates that I have met over here do not bike.

I am XC only, not very tech, but can do ok on cwmcarn, xc course.

Hope to hear from someone.

And hey if you are not from cardiff, and just are coming down for the day, would love to hear from you.

Saturdays only due to kids and wife.

    Hi there,

    I'm near Cardiff and just starting to get back into mountain biking now (read dusted my bike off last weekend, headed out for a ride and realised my cycling fitness is not quite what it used to be! :shock: ).
    I'd be up for going riding if you don't mind me tagging along. :D

    If you're into your xc, a cracking ride is along the ridgeway from castell coch over looking cardiff and rudry towards machen, around the caerphilly basin and back to castell coch - its a good 2/3 hrs ride depending on what tracks you take.

    Give it a blast - follow the rhymney valley ridgeway trail

    I'm from Cardiff, ride most Saturdays.

    If only have a short time, up over Rhwbina Hill, down through the woods to opp fforest fawr car park, down through the woods to entry to Castell Coch car park, then back up through the woods and down the Rhwbina Hill & back home.

    Over the ridge & down the Lisvane tennis club fun, but need to get stickier tyres to do it when wet.
