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:The worst ever mud on this ride! It must be something to do with freezing and then thawing. It was sticky and claggy and pulled us to a halt within a few hundred meters of Crab Hill. Even the to of the Ridgeway had a bit of this, though by riding on the grass it wasn't impassible.But we did get going again, and made it to the Ridgeway and back. Up Goddards Brook, down Betterton. Chris's new light worked well so looks like being very good value for money compared to more established and more expensive brands. | ||
Distance:24.14 km (15.00 mi) | ||
