You'll be amazed at how quickly the cityscapes disappear and are  replaced by wild n beautiful open spaces. Our route rolls out along the picturesque River Lee. Cruise past Hackney Marshes and the Walthamstow Wetland Sanctuary before ramping (steep!) up into the Epping Forest for a blast along a selection of  sublime sweeping gravel tracks - surprising, amazing and exhilarating.
