Regular MTB/CX rides in Epping Forest

Boom! 11am is good, could do earlier as, selfishly, my route is clearer earlier in the morning.

maybe, need to fit my new chainring and actually tighten up the bolts properly this time...

You can do it!

thank you :~)

eyeing up your airnimal sale thread at the same time....

See you guys at Chingford at 11:00.

Awesome! Look forward to it.

out, sorry, no trains on the chingford line today for some stupid reason

Hey I'm coming!! couldn't resist

got a train to Ponders End instead, so I should be able to meet you guys in the car park round 11:10ish if that's ok.

My number 07565977306 drop me a line anyone (i don't have a smartphone)

No worries, at le car park now, happy to wait.

Just woke up :(

It was cool to bump into you fellows today. @platypus my frame is a medium, 17" c-t, and I've got long femurs so the saddle is set back quite a bit. The saddle that you thought comfy is a Selle Italia slr max gel flow.

guys that was much fun

Strong sock game there

v good ride.
The full sus suits you! Many rads.

Srs face is srs

3 reps of the red sticky hill was more than enough though.
We need guidance to the location of the fun bit with the rope swing at some point if anyone is able to assist.

being in the air is srs bsns

the fun bit with the rope swing

Which one :-)

I was going to say where @platypus got on the swing on the last group ride, but you weren't on that one, so...

I think it is that bit? It's got a rope swing at the top, and to the lefto f where the rope swing is the trail starts, it's sort of a roll in with a jump at the bottom, comes down to a left turn down a little rooty drop, then is quite quick all the way down. I think it might be near Theydon?

I don't know if any of that info helps at all.

Sounds like where Rus broke his fork

Go to 12.2 miles into this ride. I think that's the bit you mean
