Well maintained, fun ride

Perky Blenders are popping up in more and more places. Great coffee.

A mixture of gravel, road and mud paths that are always fun and varied, but if you're not sure of which terrain you'll encounter, knobbly/off-road tyres would be encouraged.

Paths through the Roding Valley can be very variable. Some fairly wide, smooth and well maintained - others narrow, muddy and slippery.

Some trails in Epping Forest are wide, fairly smooth and easy to ride ... others are narrow, single track and very slippery when wet. The difference is not always obvious on a map - check photos when you plan.

Epping Forest is a beautiful ancient woodland bordering Essex and Greater London. It is one of the largest public open spaces in the London area, covering around 2,400 hectares (approximately 5,900 acres). The forest stretches about 12 miles (19 km) from Epping in the north to Wanstead in the south. These days, Epping Forest is a popular destination for outdoor activities. Visitors can enjoy walking, cycling, horse riding, birdwatching, and picnicking. The forest also offers a network of well-marked mountain biking trails right next to London. Here there are epic mud rides in the winter and gorgeous green bashes in the summer. There is a lot of biking fun to have here.

Plenty of up-and-down here and for me, this is best traversed southbound. There are more climbs southbound, but the worst of them is short and sharp. Northbound, the climb after crossing Pincey Brook is long and a complete a gut-buster.

Epping forest has trails for everyone, from wide compact gravel routes to more technical MTB trails. Just be curious and follow the one that suits our characteristics best to fall in love with Epping Forest.
