Off Road Thursday Evening Ride 2*
Leader:

Description:
Please pre-book for this ride by contacting the ride leader. Off-road ride around local tracks, usually about 10 -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 us know. Dark, cold and wet - we’ll ride in any two. But please let us know if you are coming so we can tell you if we decide to cancel due to bad weather or other reasons.

Weather:
sunny
Report:
The fine weather brought out 10 riders for this evening ride. It was a pleasure to welcome new riders Phil and Gary on their first ride with the club. The weather conditions were absolutely perfect. The first part of the ride covered the Ridgeway from the Lord Wantage Monument out as far as Sparsholt Firs, then returning via the Wilts & Berks Canal.
A splendid evening along with great company and scenery.
Many thanks to James for sweeping.
Distance:
