The Epping Forest 50k challenge?

Just a thought going through my head, but I'd like to work out a ride around Epping Forest next year, which would consist of as many different bits of singletrack as possible within one day.

The average Badger group ride works out at around 20 miles, so I think 50 miles is doable.

There's easily accessible food and water top-ups at High Beach. Plus, it's Easy to get to, and it'd be free.

Anyone fancy doing all ( or part ) of it with me?

@Howard @IR @youramericanlover @jesm @TomvanHalen @xkittyx etc..

Edit - I think this first one will be 50km, just to try it out.

Would work out at about 6-7 hours of riding time.

Yah.

sounds great! if it started at dad oclock and I got the train home I'm sure I could swing most of it at least. more time in the forest is a-ok with me.

dad oclock

I will also need this start time

What time is dad o clock?

Only if it's 50mi of bog

Hottest day of the year or nothing.

What time is dad o clock?

In my house it's 6am. Anything starting at 7-8am would be good. It gives me time to get home before 6

There's a 6am you say.....

I suppose you have to get up really early, to send the kids out on their paper rounds.

In!

Don't be daft, Mick. You're too old for a paper round.

Yes yes yes. After TORQ I've realised I can actually do these longer rides.

50 reps of the claypit hill trails? awesome.

In. Probs

I turn 50 next year so it has a certain appeal, I'm in.

count me in

Sounds decent :0)

Excellent. Along with no entry fee, there will be no prizes, no winners, no glory, and no commemorative t-shirts.

Will there be an early bird discount?

I want a 'Semi century badger' tshirt.....come on photoshop gods! :0)

The only evidence that this ever occurred will be a few hastily dug shallow graves in the forest.

commemorative t-shirt of two happy honey badgers or I threaten my resignation

Working on something....
