Default Introducing the Milton Keynes trials ride!


Guys and Girls!

Based on Sponges hugely popular London trials rides, Leo and Edd bring
you the

* [ C E N T E R ] W a r m u p t o B U C M i l t o n K e y n e
s t r i a l s r i d e ! [ / C E N T E R ] *

The format will be very similar to the London trials ride, all styles
welcome, experts to beginners.

We will be meeting at Milton Keynes central train station at about 10am
on Sunday the 18th march. The date can be moved if it suits the
majority of people though.

Milton Keynes is a hugely popular city for trials bikers due to its
ultra modern design. There are miles and miles of marble ledges, gaps,
drops and rails. More pictures coming soon!

'Here' (http://tinyurl.com/2vycyy) is the map of the route, the fixed
route is marked in blue the circles with numbers are the spots that we
will stop of at. The yellow lines are the unfixed route. Due to how new
the city is, there are now buildings on all of the green land on that
map, so when we get to the yellow route, we will discover and ride
spots as we go!

Meeting point: The red dot on the map. We will be meeting at 10am
outside the central train station near this statue.

Spot 2:

The famous Empire gap!

Spot 3:

This is a purpose made skate plaza on the end of the bus station. Lots
of marble here. The skaters get a bit touchy about their precious
marble ledges being chipped but if we get there before 12 there will be
no-one there anyway.


Spot 4: Sorry no picture yet! This is on the other end of the bus
station to the skate plaza. There are a few ledges and gaps here.


The rest of the ride: As Milton Keynes is (Literally) still being
built, there are new spots popping up all the time. For the rest of the
ride, we will roam around finding all the best spots and hitting them
up!

Please post your thoughts on this and if the date is ok, we can always
move it to suit better.

I hope you lot can come!

Rock on!
Leo and Edd

Sounds well good. I'll do my best to be there, don't think I have
anything planned for March yet. I'll see how much it'll cost me when I
get home tonight.

Well, the date is no problem for me (not that I would expect you to
change things on my behalf though!).

The photos of the meeting points is a great idea. At least everyone
should know that they've come to the right place, which is
encouraging.

How far is this from Milton Keynes Coachways though? I know National
Express are generally happy enough for me to bung my uni on there, but
I'm not sure how I'd get in to town from there. Are the local busses
uni-friendly?

Cheers

Hi Spencer!

Im glad your thinking of coming along!

I will be bringing the car, So if people get the coach and end up at
the coachway, I can ferry people to the meeting point, no problem.
There is a bus, but I have never used it before, although the buses are
mostly ok around here there has been the odd occasion where I have been
refused.

Hope that helps!
Edd

I might come. Milton Keynes is relatively far from where I will be
living, but since I missed out on the last London trials session (not
really by choice) I might wanna make up on it.

Please note that if I do, this non-trials rider will be coming as a
spectator merely to say hello to everyone. Will that be allowed? I'll
definitely bring a "video" camera, but I might not bring a uni, and if
I do, I may just ride down some steps and that's it.

Edd, do you know any good places for car parking near the meeting
point? I won't be living near a train station then.

Great! Of course you can come without a uni, its your choice! There is
parking outside the train station or behind the bus station at spots
number 3 and 4 on the map.

It would be great if you could bring a video camera along! It would be
good to have a dedicated cameraman, then none of the action will be
missed!

Rock on!
Edd

I'll definitely try and get down to this. If anyone else is heading down
from somewhere North-ish and wants someone to split petroleum costs
with then give me a yell.
