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:Richard returned with a mostly new transmission. Unfortunately his chain was skipping all over the place when he put the power down, but we traced this to a very worn middle chainring.From then he swapped from granny to big ring and all went well until, just after climbing Lark Hill his new chain snapped! Fortunately a spare split link saved the day and we climbed to the Ridgeway, went East and down the Ginge singletrack, making used of some recently discovered twisty tracks in the woods. | ||
Distance:24.14 km (15.00 mi) | ||
