    Its not a long route but theres some good drops, jumps and a bit of flowing single track. but there are plenty of dog walkers and ramblers. But i didn't see any annoyed people so i would say it would scratch an itch when your next up here. i must hasten to add i haven't been biking long so it all looks good to me! But my mate who has been biking for a few years round here and north wales enjoys it so i think you will too.

    Woah thanks to all who replied :) . Hope to meet you all in the near future maybe get a wirral chain gang going :)
    Fuzz monkey, i've never ridden royden park but bidston hill is worth a blast if your in the wirral mate. Few decent downhill sections and some nice drops, grueling climbs and nice singletrack.
    Regards,
    Scott

    I am in Wallasey and looking for riding buddies, main place I would go is Llandegla (near Wrexham) - great place but more fun with someone else.

    A few of us go on a wednesday night after work. End up there at circa 6.30 & are looking to go throughout the winter.

    Very much a beginner I think, have a MTB and a roadie so which ever suits, just need to get out there and get some exercise, just differcult to get the motivation on your own.
    Been over bidston hill a few times, great ride and like someone else suggested the bidston moss nature reserve is a nice ride too.
    Be great to hear from anyone else looking for a riding partner
    Yes, it is an odd user name but then undertaking\'s a strange profession.
