Parks & Ride: Autumn Trail Ride
Guided trail ride around our parks for intermediate to advanced cyclists.
Get ready for our autumnal Parks & Ride: Trail Edition! Join us for our final cycling adventure of 2026 across Milton Keynes’ parks and green spaces on Sunday 1st November at 9am, starting from Campbell Park Pavilion.
This isn’t your normal Sunday spin — it’s a longer, more technical ride designed for slightly more experienced cyclists who enjoy a challenge! Together, we’ll take on a guided group ride through trails, bridle paths, Redways, and hidden woodland routes that showcase the very best of MK’s great outdoors. So, grab your hybrid, gravel, or mountain bike, gear up, and get ready for some muddy, scenic, off-road fun!
Meeting point: Campbell Park Pavilion
What3Words location: bravest.detergent.redeemed
Cost: Free — no booking needed! Just show up and ride.
Distance: Around 30km (19 miles)
Time: Approx. 2–3 hours
Experience level: Intermediate to advanced — expect a mix of terrain, perhaps some mud, and plenty of adventure.
Route highlights: We’ll be weaving through the Ouzel Valley, Loughton Valley, and even some of MK’s ancient woodlands — all linked by trails, bridleways, and the occasional Redway or road section. Conditions may be slippery and muddy, so come ready for a proper trail challenge!
What to bring:
- A suitable bike (gravel, MTB, or sturdy hybrid) in good working order
- Helmet - we recommend that you should wear a cycle helmet that conforms to current regulations, is the correct size and is securely fastened
- Participants should wear appropriate clothing and footwear for the weather and exercise
- Drinks/snacks – there are no cafés or toilets at the start point
- Any tools / pump / spares you’d bring in a normal ride
- A sense of adventure and a love of exploring!
Younger riders are welcome with an accompanying adult and should be comfortable with the distance.
Our friendly, experienced team will be on hand to help with any last-minute tweaks or questions before we set off.
Accessibility information: If you need any accessibility support or have questions about adapted bikes or handcycles, please contact us at events@theparkstrust.com. This ride is less accessible than our normal Parks and Ride events due to the different terrain.
