Epping Forest: Episode III - Return of the Badgers

What's the deal? never did it before

It's basically getting away from the city for a few hours and messing about on bikes, away from the traffic. The terrain in Epping forest ranges from easy - moderately technical ( dependant on the weather ), so is suitable for both beginners and the seriously rad among us.

As far as bikes go, it's rideable on most bikes. As long as you can fit knobbly tyres of around 32c or more and have working brakes, you're probably good to go. For anyone who fancies singlespeeding it, anything between 52 - 60gi will be ok, depending on your fitness.

I like to think that those people who have become regulars on these rides are the least 'cliquey' bunch of people I've ever met, so noobs are positively encouraged to turn up for these rides. The pace is very much social and there's plenty of stops for chat, photos and cake.
