What's the danbury xc loop consist of? I've only ever done the dh/jumpy stuff there but want to do some xc/long distance type stuff, I saw a few of u going out last sunday but didn't have chance to stop for a chat as was pushed for time as it was. |

Yea the loop is good, about 10 miles or so and some good ups and downs... twisty and flows really well. Here's the route via endomondo (if the link works  ) http://www.endomondo.com/workouts/uS6R2-N_mpcIf you can get the gpx from the above or pm me and i'll send it to you... |

There's some excellent singletrack in Thrift wood that can extend that loop a bit. Watch out with Blakes Wood though, it's on the "cheeky" side as it's only footpath and there has been some confrontations with walkers in there. |

Can do a nice ride up from chelmsford upto danbury that takes in some of the loop... |
