February 2010 Group Ride Report 21/02/2010
Bucksmtb.co.uk Cross Country XC Woburn Trails Ride Out


After the success of our Christmas and New Year Group Rides we were looking forward to another good turn out for our Woburn Ride. We were not disappointed. Twenty of you made it on the day, making this our biggest turn out on the day to date.

For many of the riders it was their first taste of Woburn, taking in some fantastic singletrack and fun loops through Woburn's maze of trails. It was great to see everyone leave with a huge (muddy) smile on their face.

Some last minute rain and snow showers in the morning before the ride made certain trails slow going, and others 'interesting' for our riders. A few crashes and awkward moments on the bike took place, but thankfully no injuries or damaged bikes! Although the weather God's made it challenge with the early morning snow, at least the Sun did come out and shine all day long for us.

The ride was a shorter affair than normal, only lasting about ten miles. This was due to both the trail conditions and also because a lot of the ride was linking in different singletrack sections and small loops of Woburn Woods.

All the group completed the ten mile ride before a large chunk left for appointments with a Roast dinner (lucky them!), and then a few of us headed out for a further loop before leaving.

A big thank you goes out to everyone who supported the ride and attended, especially those of you that made the effort to drive quite a distance to attend. It was great to see such a good turn out and such a keen group of riders. A massive shout of thanks must also go out to Wayne and Christian who kindly led the ride and showed us all around the Woburn area.
