With the evenings closing in and the threat of Autumn and Winter getting ever present, it’s even more important for us here at ATG-Training to get those precious moments of dry, warm and dusty trails in.

With this in mind we packed the hardtails into the cars and headed off to try out the local pump tracks.

Our first track was at the legendry Woburn sands home to some crazy jumps and a really tight little pump track that’s seperated into three parts. It’s a little confusing if you haven’t been there before and it took us a few circuits before we got to know it. Even then I found myself haring off up the face of a MASSIVE jump by accident…

After a play on the top section of the trails, we packed up the cars and headed to (one of) Leighton Buzzards pump tracks that backs on to a quarry. The brain child of Ian Warby (formarly of Aston Hill - now working for the CTC) The sun was going down and we sessioned the three jumps until we couldn’t really see much any more.

Great times. We  urge you to follow in our steps and give it a go yourselves!!
