    the chalky soil will be nearly as slippy as ice if it is raining when you go. Its bad enough in the dry.

    There is a 4x track, a freeride area and some short downhills. Its good to ride in all weathers.

    Chicksands has a bit of everything, Woburn is more XC although it dies have some mini-DH tracks and dirt jumps as well. Woburn soil is sandy so drains quickly if it has been raining.
