Any bike will do - I often go out with Northern who rides a steel hardtail while I rumble along on a 180m freeride bike. Its not what u ride its how you ride it :)

Will probably do a 2-2.5 hour hillyish loop out and back to high beech and then a 1hr flatish extension if anyone is up for that (very loose guesstimation) See how it goes and whos in the groups I spose.

Looking forward looking to it. I don't think Ive ridden with anyone on this ride before so will be good to put names to avatars.

No worries.. there are a bunch of us heading to ride DH in 2 weeks who will get shown round exmoor by a 14yo and he will no doubt school us. http://www.essexhertsmtb.co.uk/mountain ... 19-15.html

the only prerequisites for the ride are

Sensible mountain bike in good condition and bits not falling off
Helmet
Have some tools and tubes food so you can fix any problems
The ability to pedal up and down some greasy hills for a couple of hours

So basically just the ability to keep some flow in the ride and not make it too stop start for others. If u can do that then its an open invite

FYI this is classic Epping terrain http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wuwhThUSJl4&hd=1
