Woburn sands trails

[MrWid]

Great!
Meet at 10am ready to ride at the corner of Church Road near the carpark MK17 8TS.

All we need now is a date!

I'd advise everyone to meet inside the gate shown on the google maps streetview for that postcode. And thats the gate on the opposite side of the road to the house

28th is good with me

 

[Toecutter]

I’ll get some better pictures of exactly where to meet if that’s better, just so people can see where to park and meet?

I love it there, not been for a while, I probably wouldn't know if I can go until the start of that week but I'll keep an eye on this thread & update if I can come.
Nick, did you used to meet at the same spot for slower STW rides?
Cheers.

No I didn’t, a group of us, mainly friends just rode round ? I know there are groups that meet regularly up the woods most weekends.

Excellent see you both Sunday morning

 

[steve_sordy]

Just the three of us! I never did a count up, but I had thought there would be a lot more.

Sorry I missed this guys, this is my local too (I'm in Newport P), if you are going again please let me know!

Bear in mind that you are supposed to pay if you use the Longslade trail (the red marked one) and sometimes you get stopped and asked if you have a pass. It's £5/day or £30/year, I'm up there all the time so have an annual pass. There's lots to do on top of the marked trail though!

I was there today! The main reason was I have just sold my last clockwork bike and the buyer was from Southampton and I live north of Grantham. To get the sale I agreed to meet part way. I looked on the map and Woburn Sands is on a straight line between him and me (but closer to me, obvs). I chose Woburn Sands because at least if he didn't want the bike, I could get a ride in.

He took one look at the bike and agreed to the sale.
Then to my surprise he said he'd come with me! All the way round he was singing the bike's praises, how he wouldn't change a thing, how fast it was, how light and responsive ....... I was beginning to wish I hadn't sold it!

Anyway, the trail was bone dry and a lot of fun. Not sure I'd like to ride it in the wet though, all those sloping wet roots!

 

[MrWid]

I should be about this Sunday

 

[estoril]

Can't do Sunday, I should be up there on Saturday morning this week.

 

[MrWid]

Change of plan, meeting Wezza at the main car park, start of the Longslade trail?

 

[estoril]

It was good up there today (3rd time for me this week), got a new PB earlier in the week, just over 33 mins for the Longslade. Are you guys on Strava?

 

[Wezza]

Yes I always use strava
