Guided rides around Epping Forest ( aka Follow the strange tall man into the woods )

Still the people's forest? ( Grauniad link )

A bit full of fear and speculation that. Paying for cycling wasn't even in the consultation. Moving the car parks licensing people who use the forest to run their business (fitness trainers and professional dog walkers) seemed a big part of the consultation.

Group ride this Friday ( 13th )

Meeting at 11am at Chingford train station.

gonna attend soon, will be a NYR for 20-16! :-)

nyr?

Will start the next thread, once I'm feeling healthier.

A lucky escape.

Hey - someone, on one of the Epping threads, posted a GPX (or a link to a route?) of the off-road bits from Leyton(ish?) to Epping. I can't find it - any help?

Possibly @Dom ?

Yes, will dig it out for you.

Thanks!

Below is the route I put together, from Walthamstow Queens Road station to Connaught Water in Epping Forest - mostly off road single track and great fun.

I've also attached the .gpx file to this post.

Amaze - you rock. Going to ride out this afternoon if I get enough work done. All reports are the trails themselves are a bit of a mess, so riding out/back will at least give me some more mileage.

Cool, enjoy.

More than a few times @markypoos and I have taken this route out to the forest and back for only an early morning cuppa and a piece of cake at the teahut.

It's pretty scenic, too. Attached are some photos at various points along the way.
