Out for a ride in the AMish. Happy to do cruisy or fast for couple of hours - 11am start?

Bumped in Ninja and Twiggy yesterday and we all agreed that the forest is lightening quick.

Might be up for this as I cant get out Sunday am. Will confirm later tonight mate, but would likely be a HB start for me as Mrs wants to get out too (not with us thou!) .

Hello,

What sort of mileage do you do at Epping?

Is it single speed friendly?

Cheers. I might join you one weekend (Saturdays' are best) I'll keep an eye on the rides section

I've looked on Google Street View, Carl's Hut, is that the Green hut near Kings Oak Hotel?

I dunno what got into to me but once I was out the trails were so good I couldnt stop and ended up doing a north to south route on the silver battle tank.

812m of climbing
43.2km in length
3hr 20mins

Tried to do proper single-track routes and stay off the fire road. I have a another variation im keen to try if anyone fancies it sometime
