Hi and welcome

FOR THE 1ST TIME A MOUNTAIN BIKE GROUP SPECIFICALLY FOR MEN AND WOMEN RIDERS AGE 35+ !!

We have been riding mountain bikes in Epping Forest which is in the north-east corner of Greater London and up into Essex for the past 15 years. So if you have been in or around the forest on a Saturday you may well have seen us passing by.

Over the next few pages you can find information about us, what we get up to and hopefully you'll get a good taster of what to expect if you come and join us for a ride sometime.

We meet each Saturday at Chingford Station in Epping Forest for a few hours riding fun (quite often in the mud).

A fun group not a club

Over the years and with the changes time brings we have kept our well known name but are no longer a club as there is no membership and no fees to pay. Instead people simply apply to go on the rider list and we keep in touch with each other by emails and announcements on this site.

All change in 2007

We has gone through a number of changes over the years from large groups to just a few regulars. Over the last couple of years there hasn't really been an organised club at all and just became a few friends riding on Sunday morning.

In the summer of 2007 a large injection of fresh enthusiasm has helped us take a new direction and carry on as a social group of riders aimed at the over 35's.

Elly – was one of the regular riders from the original Epping Forest Mountain Bike club in the 90's. She started a new group for riders aged 35+ and it's taken off in a big way which shows there are many people who are no longer 18 but still enjoy mountain biking. In fact over 80 people have registered in the first 3 months. A few are older but age is not important as long as you're reasonably fit and love biking you could join in.
