Is there any decent evening riding around Milton Keynes or Towcester area? I’m going to be there a lot with work through the summer, so it’d be good to find a few trails.

Woburn and adjoining woods

Chicksands as a play area (and a good thai takeaway van)

Not decent but Harleston firs is pretty close to you if you’re closer to Towcester than Milk’n’Beans

Woburn is very near Mk

With this dry weather well worth getting into the Chilterns around Wendover as well

I’ve just got this month’s mbuk today and there is a route in around Milton keynes, no idea whether it is any good or not though.

I’ve just had a look at the MBUK route. A lot of it is part of a route I ride most weeks. Whilst there’s the trail they talk about (Longslade) there’s a fair amount of off piste there too (Aspley Woods and even more in Back Woods).
