Off-road Ride | 2* |
---|
Leader:Robin Tucker |
Start Time:6:30 pm |
Start Location:OMH |
Description:Off-roading in the dark is an experience you must try for your cycling life to be complete! Knobbly tyres and lights required.About 15 miles up to the Ridgeway and back down again. Sometimes, by agreement on the night, we might go a bit further. Bright lights are required for off-road riding in the dark, and a rear light for getting home. I have 2 spare ones that I can lend so you can see if you like it before buying your own. Contact me so I know to bring them. Dark, cold and wet – we'll ride in any 2. But please let me know if you are coming so I can tell you if I decide to cancel due to really bad weather. |

Report:Just two of us tonight, but the weather was good and by mutual consent (I think) we decided that a longer ride was in order.We set of via Crab Hill and Goddards Brook to the Ridgeway. Down Wether Down, across the road between West Ilsley and Farnborough and up Old Down (a killer climb!) Then fun time going down the gentle slope from 460804 and the twisty singletrack to near the A34 by East Ilsley. Then up the Ridgeway, under the A34 and down again. And back on the Sustrans route. Phew! A great ride - aching legs, but well worth it. | ||

This was a great ride indeed, and the extra mileage was by mutual consent! |
