What bike are you thinking of bringing down?

Danbury is also a 45min drive and its pretty easy to get to paces like Aston Hill, Swinley, Surrey Hills, PORC and Bedgebury depending on what flavour of trail you require.

I’m not far from you so Epping is my local ride too. I have been buidling up a picture of the more interesting (blue) trails on trailforks recently, some even have jumps! Sadly most of the runs are quite short and interspersed with smooth boring fireroad but its worth having a good look around, I can still use 150mm of sus on a handful of trails if you go at them hard.

I haven’t been to Broxbourne yet as I hear there is some issues with a private company blocking off the good stuff. Woudn’t mind being shown around though.

See this on Facebook last night and did it. Would like to see the final tallys, could be some interesting and useful info.

I’ve been running Derby 35mm internal width rims since 2014 and am very happy with them. Coming from 23mm before I wouldn’t like to go back down. If I ever replace them I’d be looking in the 30-35mm range for use with 2.3-2.5 tyres.
