Does anyone have any trial maps or Strava traces of the XC routes around Danbury?

I'm running out of light after work to spend much time on the downhill sections...and I'm looking at some decent tracks to follow with the lights on!

Cheers

Just checkout Strave or Endomondo mate... the problem with all GPX files is accuracy... trying to follow them offroad is a pig...

Great thanks, I quite like the look of this (or parts of) this track https://www.endomondo.com/routes/1905717

More of a chance to explore the Heather Hills / Baddow side of the hill....I need to try find some evening times over the next few weeks, but will likely be in touch.

One more question, what light set up would be suitable for a evening ride like that?

Cheers

Lights - Big lights thread Here

but for ease i would have a minimum of one of these on your lid

and something a bit more powerful on the bars.

and some little side lights for front and back in case of emergency road ride.

Thanks for the offer, unfortunately we are on full family gathering duties on Saturday, although I think i'll be getting out on Sunday afternoon.
