Hi guys,

Wondering if there is anyone around Hornhurch / Romford area that knows any routes locally and if so could be a guide!?

I'm fairly fit but haven't biked for a few too many years so I'm hoping I wouldn't slow you down too much.

Seems to be not much in terms of MTB terrain in the area so thinking of putting some road / paved trail slicks on it for the time being just to get some miles going but hopefully some one can help! :)

Dom

Hi, I'm Romford way and have just got into MTB. I've been going up to Epping and Hainault. If you'll allow very unfit people to tag along I'm up for it. I prefer mud to tarmac though!!

Hi,
Live in Rainham shift worker .
Know a few places to stretch your legs.
Do not be fooled by Ingrebourne valley it has some little surprises if you know where to look.
Davy Downs is pretty good and a nice ride to and b ack.
The marshes is ok for a leg stretcher and the chase River sides to Romford are good fun.
Bedfords park -
Thordon M25 path ways (pages wood etc.
All local
You are in a good area but not much DH .
Bob
