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:A proper winter ride: cold and windy. No rain, but the ground was plenty wet which made for slow going.Also, the Crab Hill track has been turned to slurry by a tractor. And David had a puncture. And developed squeaky bearings. And had another slow puncture. All in all, another great night out! | ||
Distance:19.96 km (12.40 mi) | ||

And David has now gone tubeless, in an effort to reduce the number and frequency of punctures that I am getting! |

After having enough of punctures, I decided after this ride to go tubeless. So far so good (one month without a puncture, instead of the normal one per week average!) |
