It does feel a bit steep considering we can just ride in the woods for free. I'm curious to see what the facilities are like. Looking forward to the updates guys. |

I will certainly keep riding the footpaths of Danbury whilst the government work out how best to fight the obesity crisis! |

That's a shame..!! I had fancied a trip over there but I guess I won't be going now.. £6..!! When others just ride in from the road is a bit of a joke..!! Like you say better option Epping entry cost £0 + Bacon.. |

Also the parking fee as well, think that's £1 or more can't remember.?? It is just a short course and the small black sections are rocks and quite demanding other than that it is just a play area... Oh and us west of the bridge have to pay the £4 tolls as well, so makes it a big cost and even going to bedgbury as well Sent from my iPad mini using Tapatalk |

To be fare the road track, velodrome, bmx track, hockey field, swimming pool, diving and park itself are all pretty damn good. The school, all the new housing plus the redevelopment of the semi derelict waste land that was there before are all a pretty good 'Olympic Legacy' and Westfield is a bit better than the old Stratford shopping centre |

Tackle world class mountain bike trails in London No way!! I was there last Thursday and it was pretty tame in general. Black sections were a bit more spicy but that was all. Too much gravel and front wheel had no much grip. It'll probably get better. Very small place but the rest of the surroundings, parks, cycle paths, canal, stadiums, etc gives a good impression and like the area. It's a mere 10 minutes ride from my home on cycle lanes so I had to see it for myself. It's not worth the £6 but we still had a laugh. Anyway, I crashed 2 times ouch! http://www.strava.com/activities/183474813 |
