Hi Tom. I'm in no car club too.......

There are various rides orgainsied where you could cadge a lift maybe, Ive been looking at some places that are near stations, Danbury is a fave with lots here, its about equal distance between Chelmsford or South Woodham Ferrers station, its a nice ride of a few miles from either, especially in the summer (!?), and even better if you pop in a nice country pub on the way, if you go to/from Chelmsford then you can visit Baddow pump track on the way.

Warley has some impressive jumps/drops built by locals, thats quite near Brentwood station.

Very local to me is Hadleigh/Benfleet/Leigh stuff, and of course home of the XC Olympic track, I still believe you can book the day training sessions still at Hadleigh with Tom Dowie, I have the details here somewhere, or there are some nice short runs even if you dont go on the Olympic track, its best to start from Benfleet station and finish at Leigh. (But its a muddy mess at the mo!)

I believe Aston Hill is also not too far from a couple of station, I intend to try that out.

Further afield I plan to visit Morzine/Les Gets come summer time if your interested.

FYI, you can get to Epping from Chingford Rail station, It's almost just across the road from the station. it's prety boggy at that end of the forest at the moment, but further north I expect it'll be quite hard at the mo due to the cold (unless it rains)

Thanks guys, Danbury looks great! and I'll be sure to try out Epping too.t Aston Hill looks awesome, I'll get some practice in elsewhere beforehand though.

As for Morzine, I'm afraid I won't have the time or the money, otherwise I'd be game! Thanks for help guys

Welcome mate. where abouts are you in London? Im in sheperds bush and ride most weekend, also have a car.

I'm just south of you in Fulham area. That sounds great, I'll definitely give you a shout, I'll be cycling almost every weekend after 7th June, possibly before (depending how exam revision is going 8-| )
