Hi everyone
Im new to this site, i ride a lot of road atm but looking to do some more mtb
Im based in hockley, but willing to drive to some good trails if anyones got any recomendations?

Cheers

There is a few places to ride Southend way with Hockley woods (look up muckers on FB) and hadleigh downs but the best riding locally is at Thorndon and Danbury and Epping

Grips Bikes do a route out and around that way, as above look on FB for their page and details.

Hadleigh also close by for some fun..(well when it finally opens????)

Hadleigh country park has some good bits.
I guess the best place nearest to you really is Danbury. Still need to get my ass over there!

The sooner it opens the better! What an awsome course on the doorstep. Just popped over to danbury today,
Quite a lot to play on.
Cheers for the recomendations

There's a group of us that ride Hockley or Belfairs, tile, pound, westwood, coombewood. thundersley glenn, the downs etc regularly getting out on a tuesday evening with slight variations on which route we take made at absolute last minute, or when the leader goes off piste ! its more of a social laughing exercise group with wheelie practice, the Gripps ride is more full on and like a race from point to point and they dont wait for anyone thats slow but good fun if you can hack the pace, they leave Gripps bike shop in Rayleigh about 7.00pm i think

You're welcome along on any of the Tuesday rides, all abilities catered for, if you're fast and technical we'll concentrate on making you laugh, if your novice and unsteady we'll coach you along

Thanks for the offer
ill try and tag along next tuesday. im cool with any pace but prefer fast
is it a large group of you that go riding?
cheers
Jack

Depends sometimes there's just two or three, other times there are 6 or 7 LOL
