Heading down south to see some friends soon and intend to take the bike to Woburn sands. Seems like a nice spot from the reviews I've read, but I can't seem to find any trail maps for the area. Can anyone point me in the right direction or suggest a route?

Cheers

If you're just mucking about on the jumps and short dh runs, you don't need a map as it's a relatively small area. Just have a mooch about...

I'd post for a guide (I'm not bike worthy at the moment). Its great but really hard to navigate and find the good bits

What sort of riding do you do? If you're after an XC fitness type of ride, just follow your nose, if you want twisty rooty singletrack you'll need to be shown, as it's not obvious.

I am down in about 4 weeks, mostly xc, but will be looking for some more challenging bits as well

The map someone linked is a good start however, most of the wavendon woods bit has been churned up due to forestry.
The best stuff is in Back woods but you are most likely to need a guide to find it all. There is some awesome singletrack over that side.

hi there,

cyclone are a local mtb group there and run a sunday session if you are about then.......

if you want to go solo then there are a few trails posted on their [url= http://forum.cyclonembc.co.uk/f6-trail-information ]forum[/url]. Most of the fun trails are now posted on Strava so if you can link them up yourself - go for it....

I could show you around but the pace is <ahem> 'leisurely' ..... otherwise cyclone does have a FB page and they are a pretty fun lot - so if you post a request there I am sure someone of decent pace can help you out.

Enjoy woburn - its not a bad place to play 🙂
