[Closed] Ampthill Riding

There's stuff around Millbrook and you could do a loop from Ampthill to Woburn, instead of using the car!

There's a big Harlington xc loop. Got the map somewhere.

Ooh ooh
We took the MBR guys on a Woburn to Chicksands route, that passed Ampthill.
Still got the mag with the map of that ride.

I'm slowly getting back into biking having had wrist and knee problems so don't know as much as I should

Maulden would has some stuff but is more prone to the wet than Woburn or Chicksands

You could cycle to either with plenty of off road on the way

You need to get in touch with these guys

so far I've failed but haven't tried very hard

there is a small jump spot on the edge of the heath as well. just off station road. Not my thing, but it may be yours

If I get fitter I'll be in touch

Cheers for the responses guys

Carl - do you know what issue of MBR? Ive got a couple of issues up in the loft that might have it in. Cheers

Chicksands (Rowney Warren) is rideable from Ampthill, going via Maulden woods + Chicksands woods makes it interesting. Check the OS map.
I used to do a loop from Ampthill that took in Flitwick(opposite leisure centre) - Flitwick Plantation - Moneypot Hill (byway) - A507 - Millbrook woods - home, with a few seasonal variations due to very sticky clay in the winter. For which I recommend 1.95's + singlespeed.
Used to live in Ampthill before changing career + moving to the Peaks.
