Epping Forest

Seemingly there are 'No Cycling' signs all around.
Does anyone know what the story is?
Are any sections of Epping Forest open to cycling?

ISTR one of the MTB mags had a feature on Epping Forest, so I guess
cycling is allowed in places. If you visit this page:

http://www.eppingforest.co.uk/forest.html

there's a link to the Epping Forest MTB Club - perhaps you could
ask them for info?

You need to come to Scotland, where such signs are now illegal.

The trouble with Simon is that he only opens his mouth to change feet.

Epping Forest, like Hampstead Heath, is managed by the Corporation of London.

The Corporation has not been cycle-friendly at Hampstead Heath or in the City.

If they are consistent, they'll be anti-cyclist in Epping too. :-(

Edgware.

I ride there all the time, there is a massive area to ride with some
great climbs and decents. Loads of bridle way and massive amounts of
hidden singletrack.

There are only 3 very small locations that you cannot cycle, the areas
are iron age forts, about 300 ft in dia... and a preserved brook...

If you want any details on routes or fancy linking up, let me know.

They would disagree: cycling gets a bullet point to itself in their
transport strategy...

Or turn up at Carl's tea-hut at High Beech for 9am, ride with the locals.
