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

Its got to be ridden this year!

** UPDATE ** - meet in the car park at 3pm to ride over and session it

You really don't want to bail on one side though

The tight one is real close as they say. Jason Hewitt who could ride the tightest of transitions getting caught out.

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

Not always right the Faith. L
