North London rides (not Epping)
Given the rain over the last two days, I would guess that most of the singletrack in Epping will be boardering on unrideable this weekend. So...where next? Is there anywhere else around North London that offers anything a little more 'all-weather'?
I don't have a car but I'm happy to throw my bike on a train for a short hop.
Any suggestions?

Let me know if you want showing around either or gps routes, I think I have them for both.
I'd be interested in GPS routes of Hainault & Thorndon.
Where exactly IS Thorndon anyway?
Cheers!
I'm away for a few days but will sort out the routes soon as i can.

Yep, only 20 mins from Seven Sisters on the rattler. Sounds perfect. I'll check it out.
I'll look forward to receiving them.

There's enough territory to do anything from two to five hours without too much repetition.
It's not usually too muddy, although the last few weeks have been the worst I've known it for a good while.
Yep, was up there a couple weekends ago. There did seem to be quite a few big puddles and slush up towards the top of the woods - but strangely better further downhill :? I had a close call with some barbed wire and managed to nearly knock myself out on a low branch but still had a good time!
I will probably head back in about three weeks time. I did get a bit confused about where you could ride with all the nature reserves and stuff though - so maybe I could benefit from some guiding. Particularly as the OS map seemed to bare no resemblance to reality!
There's a certain amount of ambiguity on where's legal for riding, but so few people use the woods that nobody seems to get upset if you're in small groups and behave sensibly.
Potter's wheel all the hills had little streams coming down them
and branches falling mainly near the Kings Oak pu
And where the horses that was out have been riding just left
deep muddy un-ridable puddles.
Bloddy chain snapped on a two week old bike/ icing on a the cake that was.
Anyone out at Hainult this Saturday or Sunday?
Or the Brentwood Forest let us know
Cheers
