this starts at the odds in peckham, the only "road" section is tower bridge/the city, and some quite gentle up hill/ fast down hill in chingford which routes through the highstreet before the way back.

otherwise it is all cycle path, cycle route or off road

it was dry ish when we done it, but people done it on 33s, fixed, single speed, 26'rs everyone felt quite happy with their choices, would be a good route if you wanted to take a slower bike out but not be harassed by cars. it's also a good route if you wanted to take someone who doesn't usually ride these sorts of things, after Clissold you cross the lee, it's all segregated cycle path/ off road till you come back home (barring getting a drink in chingford)

BN's epping route is very good, i would suggest bigger tyres and maybe some gears if you wanted to ride it all, but it made great hike a bike having neither of those things, we have legs, it's fine

around walthomstow forest you can get lost, there are some private roads and such, so you're kind of just heading in the direction you need to, that said there is some excellent 'downslope' bits there which flow quite nice, it's quite good, also the first downhill of BN's route is incredibly good, just don't touch the front brake, you'll make it over everything, it looks worse than it is.

i think my total ride time was 5:50 - but if you were a fit and healthy lad, ladette on a mission you could do it sub 5, a lot of our time was my awful gps reading and walking bits / going back.

@rodhusk you'll have to ask @Thrasher for information on that, although i agree, it's a very cool bike!
