So everyone who has ever been on the Lake Ride knows about the big concrete drainage ditch next to Willen lake... and a brave few always get in there and ride it.
Years ago RAD mag had a feature on MK and there was another ditch that looks even more ridable! and I've found it.
Its next to Caldecotte Lake
Woughton Park
Milton Keynes, UK
52.015271, -0.706587
Sat nav to Beales Lane
Milton Keynes MK7 7HB

The tight one is real close as they say. Jason Hewitt who could ride the tightest of transitions getting caught out. :slayer:
After all he is from Redditch which we call the Ditch.
We session those tight drains every year ending up with whiplash so will be good to find something more mellow. ::)

Yes Brothers
Me n The Crow n Richie D thought we'd found the Ditch last year.
We rode it but it was tighter than a nats chuff.
Obviously we now know it was the wrong Ditch can't wait to ride the real'un. Haha

Bring it padwan. There be ramps there this year and you know you wanna ride them...... :coolsmiley: :crazy2:
And this ditch is concrete, dirty and quite possibly dangerous. Sounds perfect for an hour or two - it will be pish funny watching us all roll about like kids so get there or we will hunt you down and drag you there........ >:D
-
I'll be there for ditch session!! Should be good :) love riding different stuff :)
-
UPDATE
Just got a message from Ed that the ditch is full of water so the sesh is off. The ramps are where you're going to find us I'd say :daumenhoch:
