Am looking to do a biggish c. 50k+ Epping top-to-bottom ride on Friday afternoon from c. 1.30pm onwards

Broadly thinking the route will be to start at Stubbles Car Park at Loughton - head up to High Beech, north to Epping and beyond, back to High Beech, down to Whips X and back to Loughton - taking in all the best bits of single track.

Happy for anyone to join me for all or bits of this - let me know.

cheers

Northern

Epic!
but cant make it.

Trying to build up my fitness for the summer so went for an epping Epic this afternoon and learnt that:

71.6km
+
529m of climbing
+
4hrs 55 of riding
=
a knackered northern

Obviously with Strava - the challenge is on for who can do this route quicker!

Bit disappointed with my Bury Rd to Pole Hill time - but in my defence - I had done a fair few KMs by then!

Epping's running super well at the moment - pretty much dry everywhere - anyone out over the w/e is going to have a blast!!

Well done mate & cheers for the info , think i am going to get my first ride in 2012 in epping tomorrow now!

Be up for joining you next time but was in Surrey today.

Whats the riding like up in the very north, northern . Never been past the forest gate inn / cricket ground?

Well done, thats some epping ride

The stuff North of Epping is super fun - mainly single track - but I've mentally filed it as 'dry weather' only as suspect it would be a bit draggy in the wet- but well worth heading up there when conditions are like they are now

fyi. the best bit of trail runs alongside the Epping-Ongar railway - top quality single track fun!!

sounds good, look fwd to a tour sometime
