About Us

We are a friendly group of mountain bikers from Essex, Hertfordshire, and London. This isn’t a club as such. Its just a meeting place for people who like to ride mountain bikes so feel free to join in by registering on the forum..

We are very much a mixed age group and anyone is welcome. The emphasis is on freeride and downhill mountain biking but much of the time is spent scooting around on more mellow terrain as thats what is available locally. Check the gallery for the sort of riding we do when we get the chance.

The main areas we ride are Epping Forest, Danbury, Woburn Sands, Chicksands, Aston Hill and Thorndon. Its best to check the forum for times and dates as there is no regular ride as such. Epping forest and Danbury probably get ridden the most. More detail can be found in the mtb trails section.

There are always a few trips on the go. We have been to the Alps in one form or another 5 times in the last 4 years. Wales gets visited a few times a year, for both trails days and uplifts. Day rides in other areas of the South East, such as the North Downs, Swinley , EsherX, P.O.R.C and the Bull Track are always options too.

We are always keen to ride new places too, so if you have good local trails we haven’t found let us know! If you need to contact us post up on the forum or use the form below.
