Thorndon Park in Brentwood is pretty good.

I've been there before and its not bad, but its in Brentwood not basildon

Hi Pete,
I think when i saw you last i said about riding in Langdon Hills, but its still a fair ride from Noak Bridge.

I live in brentwood and thorndon is just down the road for me, but i would choose Langdon Hills over Thorndon and i dont know of any other "riding" places around billericay/basildon. Billericay has some great hills, but no decent woods, (that you can ride in)

See you soon Ian

Hi Pete,

Like you I'm also in Basildon but as I don't drive choices are a bit limited - other than Langdon Hills really.

Not sure if it helps you though, but there are loads of cycle paths around here which you can at least use to stretch the old legs

HTH

Couldnt get my Sports Tracker app to link properlly so heres a screen shoot of my at Langdon Hills ride the othe week.

On the High Road, some of the small car park have nice little steep runs into the woods, although I dont know the area that well.

Thanks for all the replies, I'm impressed with how many there are !

Gonna take my bike with me this week end and check it out, do any of you ride at the weekend? mind me tagging along?

There's always rides on, was only that I was racing Sunday that I hadn't organised anything, but those weird crosser bikes you like may not be welcome

Only joking

Ha, seeing how steep the hills are I'll be wanting to use a bike with brakes !

I'm gonna go riding in Laindon today as i've just got out of a family thing
Where is best to go if i dont know where i'm going?

Hi ya Pete, welcome to the forum. What time you thinking of going? I fancy a blast round there this afternoon, and can introduce you to some of the trails.

3 onwards
WOUld be great to be shown around
MY number Is if you want to get in touch

4pm at the One Tree Hill lower carpark it is then! See you there Anyone else interested?

I'll be there!!

Good to meet you both this afternoon, I got a bit of a shock though lol. There's me expecting a gentle pootle with a newbie, only to discover that explosifpete, is a seasoned roadie that eats hills for breakfast, and trackdemon is no slouch either! Held my own on the downhills though. Enjoyed it though, got a good work out and was introduced to some new trails myself too. The trails were surprisingly dry as well. Beginning to realise I'm not gonna get fit overnight, slowly slowly catchee monkey I reckon.
