Riders:David BrownDavid Yearley Robin Tucker Riders = 3 Report:Another somewhat damp ride. But, we are hardy people so we made the best of it!We squished over towards Wantage, but headed across the cornfield path instead of the regular route, and this put us in the right place to climb Goddards Brook path. Then along the Ridgeway and down ZigZag Hill to East Ginge farm - NOT the singletrack as it is very overgrown with nettles at the moment. To stretch the ride out, we went East up the Sustrans path to the Scutchamer's Knob road, then left and back along the parallel bridleway near Hendred. These tracks at least had reasonably waterproof surfaces and brought us up to a respectable 16.5 miles and plenty of mud to show for it! | ||
Distance:26.55 km (16.50 mi) | ||
