A great ride through the RSPB area but be aware there is only one main route north/south that bikes are permitted. Brilliant area with cafe for a coffee and cake recharge!

The Lodge is a nature reserve managed by the RSPB. It's the largest stretch of heathland in Bedfordshire. Important species that can be seen here include Hobbies, Nightjars, Ravens, Common Lizards and Natterjack Toads. There are also areas of grassland and woods, important habitat for other species. There is a visitor centre, shop and cafe.

Excellent ride not to be missed. Advice. Take care can be a bit slidey but should be no problems for most experience levels

Great off road section good surfaces although take it easy if not experienced as there are a few pot holes.

One of my regular stops for coffee. New cafe open soon! You can cycle through the middle of the reserve - it’s a bridleway. Also along one edge from the cafe/shop to the station. Most paths closed to cycles due to ground nesting birds.

Lovely gravel trail that is suitable for all bike types and abilities. The surface is nice and hardpacked and the views are great.

Route 51 is super along this stretch, it follows a disused railway bed.

Great place to ride through and stop for a drink

A nice and generally quiet road with some nice villages in this area.

It says just as you go inside the gateway, no bikes, you can cycle but on the bridlepath that is central to you as you enter the gate not left or right

Do it North to South if you want to fly downhill to the gate by the Common. The other way is for those with energy still in the legs seeking a bit of satisfaction at the end of a climb…

I would agree with Dom. About 9 miles round the loop. Relatively challenging for an intermediate or beginner. Mixture of gravel, mud and road surfaces. Beautiful scenes of the reservoir. When hot, just expect swarms of midges in some parts of the track. Great to also have Rutland Cycling there too along with 2 coffee shops. Well worth going for the parking pass if you are considering regular visits, £50 a year.

This gravel road Midloe Grange is excellence.

This is possible the best close up photos you can take of a Wind Power Generator in Britain.

It's a national cycle route, it's off-road and it's in the country side. Links up well with other local routes too

Nice brew in the RSPB shop then then only route cycles are allowed to take leads down toward Biggleswade Common. Few knarly tree roots on the last downhill section by the gate.

This off-road cycling and walking route is on part of the now disused Varsity railway line that ran between Oxford and Cambridge. The section between Bedford and Sandy also forms part of the National Cycle Network Route 51 and its a relatively flat easy ride that can be completed comfortably in less than an hour.

Wide, loose gravel trail across the open fields, love it.

Nice route around the resevoir, which has a few inclines on the NW side.

Best done anti clockwise, which not only is naturally faster but also means you don't accidentally miss an important section easily missed going clockwise, if missed the result is hitting the main road for 1.5mile.
