any waltham forest area casual riders?

Hi everyone,

Looking for people that doesnt take riding too serious to go on casual rides along north east area-ish, epping forest, Chingwell maybe even Brentwood/essex areas too...

currently training to do london brighton in september and while not a long ride by any means, is still quiet an effort for me.

a bit about myself... avid commuter, enjoys fixed for the city but also like my gears on long-ish rides during the week when my work allows, looking to do 50-80kms rides biweekly or something similar, Im not a fast pro by any means even tho I enjoy my second hand bikes, gear and aliexpress clothing bargains xD

EDIT: Looking mainly for road rides :)

Welcome. You don't say if you're looking for off-road rides, but have you seen this lot?

Hi! Thank you! I forgot, just edited my post, I have seen the Honey Badgers post and looks fun af, Im more of a road rider myself tho!

Considered any clubs? 6AM meet at Bakers Arms, Lee Valley CC outside Town Hall. Or is a club outside of the scope of 'casual' lol?

Hub Velo have got rides at a good range of speeds with the lower end ones being a bit more casual, you can go on a few rides to try out the club without joining too.

I would say as a member that we're a bit more casual than the more traditional clubs, more inclusive and there's more space for people who aren't too srs bsns...

No, I dragged myself up as Jules and Sandy might have said .

Anyway, sound like the Lea Valley CC social group might suit you? I think you can find them on Rider HQ.
Meet at the WF town hall gates on Sundays at 9.00am

Embrace the forest mud :-)
