Once at our destination, we can choose to take on some of Epping’s infamous hills, or cycle through the more relaxed forest trails.
Our return ride into the city will take us back along the canal path, or a more direct route by road, the choice is yours.

From the centre of the city, we head west passing through Chelsea, Parson’s Green and Putney, before continuing on to Richmond Park.
