Hi there. I have recently got back into cycling and live in South Woodford. Would love to come cycling with you guys one week - when do you start evening riding? Also - how easy is Epping to ride if you just turn up and try and find the trails? If i went to Bury Road carpark (where you meet) would i easily be able to find some trails without going round in circles. I've ridden Swinley a few times and they have desginated routes not sure its the same here......?? Thanks for any help!! |

Excellent....... thank you !! I'll give it a go and see what happens! I'm riding Swinley this weekend but will keep an eye on here for future rides...... Some of the website pics make it look pretty hardcore downhill (full helmets, armour etc). Is that Epping or somewhere else? |

Nothing 'hardcore' in Epping, some of the trails have got little kickers that you can get airborne on if you try and there are a couple of proper jumps and a few small bomb holes hidden away but you'd have to go looking for them and it's pretty obvious that they are coming Pretty 'classic' south of England single track really lots of tight twisty runs with a few roots thrown in. A full face helmet would be pretty daft really... just land up with a boiled head I wear knee pads ( dodgy knees ) and sometimes light elbow pads. Glasses are a good idea especially at this time of year... lots of low hanging branches, brambels etc |
