 You don't need to be an 'investor' to invest in Singletrack: 6 days left: 95% of target - Find out more
I'm planning to meet up with a friend for a day ride this Saturday - I'm driving down from Peterborough, and he's driving up from Gatwick. I'm trying to find somewhere to ride that's kind of in-the-middle. I did initially think of the Chilterns, but I'm expecting that's going to be a bit claggy this time of the year? I'd rather not drive down as far as Swinley/North Downs.
All suggestion greatfully received!
chilterns aint too bad just yet, its been a pretty dry year.
Epping Forest? I know its further east but actually not much in terms of drivable times.
Its still firm on the trails, although the more open trails had a slick wet layer on top its not too bad. The sund is predicated to we bout and its fairly breezy which usually has the effect of drying epping forest out. Should be good by Saturday.
You'll also get a really good ham roll from Carl's tea hut to have a chat over.
Aston hill an option but probably as far as Swinley. Swinley not that far when you consider most of driving on motorway.
Woburn is just off the M1 Junction 13. Conditions vary but good choice of riding.
Thanks for the replies - we've settled on Swinley!
Anyone know link where I can see marked trail maps, there?

And dont miss the new bit at stickler, and pay your day fee to support the effort put in to the trails for your benefit
Just in case you're not settled on Swinley, you could try parts of the Bucks Off-Road Sportive route. Starts at Denham, just off J16 of the M25.

personally, i'd go to the surrey hill. nirvana cycles do guided rides round there or someone off the forum might hook you up 🙂
