A few friends and I ride Epping forest every weekend (19 years now!) and we're looking for experienced riders now on ebikes to join us hopefully on a regular basis. We ride mostly singletrack some bridleways (the less the better) and numerous forest obstacles. We start at buckhurst hill at 9.15 and usually get back to the start by about 1.00ish covering about 25 miles and 500m total height gain.
If anyone fancies joining us this weekend...probably saturday...drop me a line and I'll let you know the start car park.

Hi. I'm only half hour away. Do you ride sundays ?
 
It varies. At the moment there seems to be a preference for saturdays but it depends who can make it each week their preferences and most importantly the weather. If theres a clear better day thats when we ride. This weekend we are planning for the saturday but each weekend is decided usually on a thursday.
Can you make it this saturday?
 
:D At last! Some local eMTB'ers I can ride with.

I'm in Collier Row and spend most of my local riding time over at Hainault Forest but have ridden Epping a number of times.

I'm well up for this, please let me know details. Although, that said, I can't do this Saturday (but Sunday is OK) although normally Saturday's will work for me just fine.

Looking forward to it!
 
I can't do this weekend as I'm away but will keep my eye on this post for future rides.

Check out the woburn forest thread there a small group ride there on the 28th
 
I will post which day when the weekend ride day has been confirmed. I would prefer not to post the start location for the security of those driving there...although i ride there?....but i think you can message me privately here so can do it that way. Btw guys at the momemt there are 4 of us on '18 levos...what do you ride?
 
Also once it warms up a bit we do early evening midweek rides to suit whoever is available if thats of interest and an annual essex offroad epic....40+miles snaresbrook to ongar round trip... although I've yet to do that on the levo!...and we arrange days out to bedgebury thetford etc.

Sounds good - up for some of that
 
Went there last weekend, some good stuff there for sure. The acorn husks and twigs certainly like to bite the drive train!! Buggered my mech and thankfully Paul managed to fix mine trail side..
