Hi guys,
Pretty new to this forum, decided to start using it!
Is there anyone on here that lives anywhere near Cambridge that goes over to places like Chicksands/Woburn sands that fancies a ride sometime?
i live in hertford.
i ride woburn a bit
cool.
Is woburn still alright in the winter? What sort of riding are you into?
all sorts of riding.
mtb/bmx etc..
Both Woburn and Chicksands are great year round due to the magic Green Sands Ridge which provides well drained sandy soil that doesn't stick. Chick sands is nearer to you has a small cross country loop and a play bike area. The dual Slalom course is fun and doesn't require super human juming ability. It costs £5 to ride at Chick Sands.
Woburn has alot more space for an XC ride and IMHO provides some fun single track. It also has Freeride jump area. This looks scary to me. Permits for Woburn are a few quid from Stock Grove Country Park
Both places are busy enough so that I don't find riding alone a worry during day light hours.
Here is a picture of Jedi, well I think its him. If you are not yet at the same standard you could pay him for a lesson. I think I will when the virus season is over
amphill, yes mate thats me 🙂
Whoah, Jedi looks like a bit of a beast, you wouldn't catch me going off a drop that big!!!
I ride at chicksands quite a lot. Not too bad at the 4x and chickshore and trying to get better at the dirt jumps.
Would definitely like to meet up with you guys for a ride sometime. I got plenty of mates that i go riding in the peaks etc with but only one who's up for chicksands and the like and he is currently extremely broken 🙁

i wanna check out woburn, hence the questions. may go down in a couple of weekends.

Where is this place? Hertfordshire is guessed but cant find much other than vids and pics (many by Jedi) on google.
I need to get involved!
i built it!

That's awesome mate. Serious respect, theres an unbelievable amount of work gone into that!
my daughter (5 yo) just watched that and she said "It was great and very clever. He was very good. I wouldn't like to do it, it's too scary. He was very brave and I loved it!"
I just showed her the VW ad with Danny McAskill too, and she's hooked. Time to find some more.
lol cheers 🙂
