Off Road Tuesday Evening Ride 2*
Leader:
Robin Tucker
Start Time:
6:30 pm
Start Location:
WMP
Description:
Off-road ride around local tracks, usually about 15 miles. Knobbly tyres required and good lights when it gets dark (‘get you home’ lights in Spring/Autumn). We are keen to welcome new riders and can make recommendations or have spare lights to borrow if you let me know. Dark, cold and wet - we’ll ride in any two. But please let me know if you are coming so I can tell you if we decide to cancel due to really bad weather.
Riders:

Richard Pethybridge

Riders = 3

Weather:
partly cloudy (night)
Report:
A horrible slog because my tubeless tyre hadn't sealed properly after installing a new tyre and kept gradually going down. It wasn't quite bad enough to make it worth putting a tube in at the time, but maybe that would have been the right answer... Anyway it's fixed now!

But we did ride into a field and lit up an impressive stag in a full on rutting bellow. We proceeded cautiously on the field edge, trying to look as little like another stag as possible. Or a doe for that matter.
Distance:
22.53 km (14.00 mi)
