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! [image: http://www.unicyclist.com/gallery2/m...c62202726b772] Edd [image: http://www.unicyclist.com/gallery2/m...c62202726b772] Leo '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. [image: http://img65.exs.cx/img65/1377/pic00036jk.jpg] Spot 1: [image: http://www.unicyclist.com/gallery2/m...c62202726b772] Spot 2: [image: http://www.miltonkeynes.com/images/u...nlarge(1).jpg] The famous Empire gap! Spot 3: [image: http://www.mkweb.co.uk/sport/images/Skatepark3%2Ejpg] 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 -- Eddbmxdude Its like England here....Iv never seen so much sun! If you're not living on the edge, you're taking up too much room!

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. -- amanda.gallacher --sorry für mein beschissenes deutsch-- 'my gallery' (http://tinyurl.com/dpa27) 'unicycle.com' (http://www.unicycle.uk.com) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ amanda.gallacher's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/10009 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/57279 |

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?

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!

Introducing the Milton Keynes trials ride!
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. -- gkmac "It's a marvellous thing to see, someone in full flight on the unicycle." - Stuart Maconie, Radio 2 "Oh no!

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 -- Eddbmxdude Its like England here....Iv never seen so much sun!

I'll definitely try and get down to this.
