Epping Forest is one of Londons best MTB spots and its right on our doorstep. It offers miles and miles of great flowy singletrack.
As there's no set trails in Epping it can be a bit of a nightmare to find your way around and keep the trails linked up. So why not tag along on one of our Sunday morning rides and get the guided tour.
Our riding group are an easy going informal bunch of riders all there just for a good social ride. We cover anything between 10-15miles of singletrack on a Sunday morning ride at a leisurely pace. We stop for mechanicals and breaks along the way.
The route varies from ride to ride and will depend on who's out/trail conditions etc. We welcome riders of all abilitys and ages. Our riders typically age between 18-55. All we ask if your going to join us on a ride is you have a helmet and a spare inner tube. If you don't have these two items feel free to pop into the shop and we'll happily help you out.
Our Sunday morning rides normally start at 8:30-9am at High Beech (Google Map Link below) we meet by a Green Tea Hut at High Beech, there’s ample parking around and High Beech is one of the most central points of the forest. At this time in the morning there can be a lot of riding groups leaving the car park so if in doubt look our for the silver Triton van.

Tips for riding Epping Forest
During the winter we'd recommend investing in some mud tyres, Epping is known for being a very muddy riding spot. Mud tyres will keep you upright and they'll also offer you better traction on the singletrack.
Hydration is key. A lot of riders will either run hydration packs or water bottles - whatever you choose, make sure you keep hydrated.
