Description:Off-road ride around local tracks, usually about 15 miles. Knobbly tyres and good lights required. We are keen to welcome new riders and have spare lights available to borrow if you let me know.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:Three of us riding, wet on the ground but not actually raining.We went over to Wantage then followed the Sustrans route through Lockinge and peeled off left toward Ardington, then right along the Byway. We could have tried crossing the GInge Brook and up the steep slippery slope, but it wasn't going to happen so we turned right and followed the road round to pick up the Byway again. Then East to the road, right and right again along the Sustrans back to Ginge Farm where we headed up to the Ridgeway on Zigzag hill. I was worried we would be against the wind on the way back, but it wasn't bad. We came down by the gallops and by Goddards Brook. Then back to Wantage and Grove the usual way. Quite a pleasant 17 miles, but the bikes certainly needed a clean! | ||
