Went to a birthday party in Leighton Buzzard and I
decided to ride down from Milton Keynes. I was quite
surprised, having only ridden around it before, the
centre was very sterile I suppose, very clean like
Canary Wharf, and the people and the cars were
separated with nice underpasses.
After walking the bike across the shopping centre (still officially on the cycle route), I quickly reached a big dramatically hilly park. I was quite surprised and that was essentially the last urban-ess I saw till Bletchley.
I rode down the Grand Union Canal, along a parallel path. These high quality but bumpy paths are called Red Routes.
I got lost around the Open University, but eventually found it to get back on track.
And followed the route along a lovely lake to Bletchley, where I got lost again before re-joining the canal for the long long ride to Leighton Buzzard.
