    Epping Forest, Broxbourne Woods.
  • If you've already exhausted Forty Hall & Whitewebbs (there's a good evening type ride there, but not really a days worth) it's time to head over to Epping Forest. The closest access to it for you would be from Holly Drive, off Kings Head Hill in Chingford.

    There's loads there, and a few clubs, too.

    Look for EppingHardCru (ironic name, not as chavvy as it sounds), or Heales Cycles in Highams Park have a regular Sunday Ride.

    Have fun!

    i not planninig on doing the ride it but just interested in that route as it supposed to be a mountain trial route with good sections.

    if not i guess il try broxborne area and epping,

    Did you say 'Hilly Fields' as in Lewisham?

    Hampstead Heath would be ideal but I'm not sure if it's open to ride. Still it's big enough to have a great blast on.

    After that I'd say your best bet is Epping Forest
