Anyone ride around Hampstead heath particuarly hilly bit at North End, also any groups doing Epping Forest, not tried that yet is it a good cross country ride? Trying to get fitness sorted after long break then wanna join couple group rides, also can do Chiltern Hills on weekends(Buckinghamshire part).

    You're not allowed to ride Hampstead Heath or sandy heath - if you do it will be fine time

    Not seen anyone handing out fines, its not large area but some great littell hills/jumps on sandy heath. Anyone else ride there?

    If you have a car and can transport your bike around, there is many more places to ride within 50miles radius.

    I'll choose not put too much stake into someone's opinion who is admittingly terrible though

    Oh for sure there is. Its just I'm in N.Lon and its a cool little bit of terra firma for just muckin around in terms of a bit of lite FR and only about a 15min ride from me (not to mention being able to duck into the Spaniards Inn which is right next door!).
    But always nicer doing that without the concern of getting fined! As I'm sure you're in agreeance ;-)

    But yes, Aston and Chicksands when I can make it
