Hi all,

As you may have guessed my name is Sam, I am 27 years old and want to get riding!

So after living in central London for the last couple of years I am finally moving out and heading towards Snaresbrook and have decided to treat myself to a new Mountain Bike... Trek 4900 D 2013 seeing as Epping forest is on my doorstep and it’s another way to keep fit and active.

I am fairly new to Mountain biking although I did a small bit in my teens around the local woods. I am hoping as well to get some help and advice from you guys on where to go in Epping forest and maybe even join some of you on some newbie/easy going rides.

Look forward to speaking to you all soon.

Sam

Welcome to the forum mate, epping a lovely place to ride if you know your way around

Welcome, just jump in the deep end....

Hi Sam,

As the others have said you've just got to get out there and get lost. TBH I rarely manage the same run round Epping twice

That said here's a nice loop to get you started that runs pretty much past your front door if you're in Snaresbrook - http://www.strava.com/activities/68688262

I say nice... it usually destroys me but I'm old and fat
