MBRO35 - Regular riders of Epping Forest

Our mountain bike cycle group MBRO35 (Mountain Bike Riders Over 35) regularly ride the trails of Epping Forest. If folks want to know more check out our website for forest details and ride times http://mbro35.co.uk

Good points:

The forest has miles and miles of single track and enough ups and downs to keep most types of mountain biker happy. It's especially good in the dusty summer months.

Bad points:

The winter months can be a bit of a slog as the water doesn't drain very well and it becomes really boggy

Would you recommend?

A good mix for beginners and intermediates

Epping forest is one of the best locations for mountain biking in London, with nearly 6000 acres of forest stretching from Wanstead to Epping there are loads of trails that are suitable for beginner and intermediate riders. None of the climbs are too intimidating, and with careful route choice some great descents can be found. In the winter months trails can get quite muddy, this just adds to the fun.

Good points:

Large variety of bridleways and singletrack that would suit intermediate riders, with some areas that can be used to work on skill development.

Bad points:

Epping forest is on a ridge of London clay, this means that trails stay wet and suffer when the weather has been bad. The northerly parts of the forest do however dry quicker. Finding good rideable singletrack is hard without local knowledge.

Would you recommend?

*Yes*
