Woburn Safari Loop - Strong Plus

Sunday 31st March at 9.00am This is what time the ride will set off. It’s best to get to the starting point at least 15 minutes beforehand to avoid missing the start.

Starting Point & Postcode
Caldecote Lake car park. Large car park just of off the A5 at the Caldecote Arms MK7 8HP
Overall Duration On a long ride, it’s sometimes good to have a little break in the middle, or maybe a catch up at the beginning or end to keep it sociable. This means that the overall ride duration may be longer than the actual cycling time.
3 hours 0 mins  (2 hours 20 mins cycling)
Bike Type You probably don’t want to drag your road bike across bumpy trails. Maybe you want to make the most of the suspension on your mountain bike. This helps you match your ride to your bike.
Hybrid (road tyres) 

Sky Ride Local in Milton Keynes

Challenging ride on the road for adults only

If you’ve been riding a road bike for a while, and perhaps been thinking about joining a cycling club, these rides – brand new for 2012 – are for you. The prospect of a speedy pace over twenty to fifty miles, and the strong likelihood of some hills thrown in along the way, means our Ride Strong Plus rides are not for the faint-hearted.

Come and join us for a gorgeous thirty mile ride on a great figure of eight route. Within just two miles we'll be in beautiful rolling countryside to the south and west of Milton Keynes, passing through many pretty and well-kept villages. But the real jewel in the crown is on the return stretch where the route passes through Woburn Park. Your teeth mightt be chattering going over the cattle grids, but the reward is seeing hundreds of deer roaming the parkland.

If you've already tried one of our Ride Strong Plus rides and you're ready for the next challenge, why not try a British Cycling Sportive?

  • Julian Gardner I have cycled most of my life, sometimes as a means of getting around but now mostly for fun, to relax a bit, maintain a sense of well being and to enjoy the outdoors.

    This is my second year assisting with Sky Ride, last year was great fun and I look forward to welcoming you to this great way to access cycling and some enjoyable days out riding.
