Off Road Tuesday Evening Ride | 2* |
---|
Leader:Robin Tucker |
Start Time:6:30 pm |
Start Location:WMP |
Description:As a courtesy to the ride leader, we ask that you pre-book for this ride. 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 PethybridgeRobin Tucker Riders = 2 Weather:Report:We did our own White Horse Challenge tonight!Mince Pies, Mulled Wine and the top of White Horse Hill - the full top by the Trig point of course. It was full on blowy as well, so the mulled wine and pies were well appreciated by the two of us who braved the weather. Fortunately it was only wind and that had kept the trails fairly dry. (It didn't stop me falling over twice, both at low speed, prey to classic rut issues). We went out via Letcombe and Gramps Hill. Always a solid climbing experience! Then just followed the Ridgeway into a headwind... Into White Horse Hill via the gate at the top. Back via the same gate and down Sparsholt Field track, then Sparsholt, Childrey and the bridleway back to Wantage. | ||
Distance:25.20 km (15.66 mi) | ||

Riders:Jane JohnKaren Townsin Katherine Boyce LeeAnn Norris Nicole Pethybridge Sharon Bedford Yvonne Bird Riders = 7 Report:Winter colds and workloads led to a smaller turnout tonight.Undeterred, the magnificent 7 set off on a series of negative split intervals, working hard for 3 minutes, then harder for a further 3. Concentration was required to keep the level of exertion high, though Sharon and Alexia did their best to take our minds off the pain. Rather embarrassingly, I managed to win the 'guess the capacity of the strangely names wine bottle' quiz | ||
