Forum

Hello! I'm very new to forums but hoping to find some peeps to ride with. I live in Milton Keynes and I ride my horse round Woburn and have seen some great tracks! All my girly friends aren't into XC or DH and all my guy friends are too advanced and I feel like I'll hold them back! Need some lovely people (male or female) to ride with! I have a full sus Specialized and a Marin Alpine trail (sorry not clued up on the bike lingo) and will try pretty much anything! Thanks everyone! xXx

Lol probably shouldnt state that too much on a forum so full of guys.... lol


All joking aside welcome! Im into cross country myself so cant help you out very much im afraid.

Welcome along you will find loads of people willing to ride with you on here!!

Welcome, always rides cropping up on the ride calender so saddle up and join one!

was that enough horse puns?

Ha ha! Fair point! Whatever it takes to get some new bike 'fwiends' Seriously though, i'll happily do DH or XC, I just want to get back out on my bike! I need the exercise and want to build my confidence!

Neigh!

Always a few of us riding chicksands ...our next big day out is going to be woburn tho prob in 3 weeks, also a few of us are lucky enough to ride midweek! so keep your eyes open!...we are various levels of skill and stupidness tho no worries!

I'll be at chicksands on Saturday from 1:00pm onward, not going mental, just a few of us having some fun putting in some saddle time, i'll start a thread so it appears on the calendar

Welcome and have fun!

Welcome to the forum

Welcome to the forum.

As others say check the rides calendar if you ride horses round Woburn your not far from chicksands for riding bikes and as you said Woburn is good.

As above, try Chicksands for some varied riding, from 4x, DJ, DH and pump track, and apparently there is an xc loop around the site.

There used to be a really good xc route that was way marked from the car park in the middle road and took in a few harder ans ome made features, great down and ups through all the gullys and finished by running down what has now become the bull run before looping back along the bottom of the woods. With all the forestry that has and is still going on, this is now gone, but as a sandy soil on top a hill it dries quickly and there are loads of paths just turn up and ride around. When you've done that head into the bike park and get your technical skills honed too.

Thank you everyone! I'm going to Calver in the Peak District tomorrow to do a bit of xc but I'd love to do Chicksands soon. The jumps scare me! Ha ha! I get plenty of air time on the horse but still not quite got the hang of it on the bike! I just tend to go for it without knowing what I'm doing an have come off loads! Ha! xXx

Welcome to the club Harriet... Can you not get a bike rack for the Horse..

Plenty of ride trips coming up now.. best place to watch is the ride calendar.. helps plan those away days and days out...

My daughter has two horses and I tried racing her once but that aint happening again (even with a head start)
