FNC hits Woburn - Bedfordshire
Last night, the Westoning posse fancied a break from their regular, local FNC (Friday night club) rides so they tooled up and headed north west to the Magic Kingdom. The route is one of Farq's primary rides that starts with a twiddly route thru MK over to Aspley Heath. Then it's play time in and around the woods before gunning it back down the A5 and heading home.

New route Tuesday 6th Dec, Any takers?
Farqui said...
Count me I'm in.
As we're not blessed with too many hills it'll be interesting to see what route a non-native comes up with...
Rob said...
Thanks Dozer what would we do without your long informative and sparkling dialogue...?
I have Monday alternatively?
Farqui said...
Tsk, kids eh ? Who'd have em !
Monday is fine with me.
Farqui said...

5th Dec,
Had another little run out, only Farqui and me this time. Shame on all of you the mud was lovely!!
Are there ever conditions that the sand is nice to ride in?
Thankfully the rain held off long enough and in the end it was a really good run.
Next Monday or Tuesday anyone? Babysitter required here, Dozer surely you'd rather sit with my kids?
~Oh and the non-native's route was rubbish, most of it didn't even exist. OS you need to resurvey the woods!!
Rob
