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:A very pleasant evening and we set off to go a bit further than usual.We went via Crab Hill to the Ridgeway, climbing Goddards Brook then down the other side, and up again - but only 2/3 of the way up the hill before turning left. About here 2 of us had punctures in quick succession - hedge trimmings being the prime suspect. Then we carried on along the field edge and down a fast track to the road into West Ilsley, where we turned left and slogged back up to the Ridgeway. Our final big descent was the Ginge singletrack - regrettably still in washboard from having dried out with many hoof impressions in the mud. Still, we all retained most of our teeth. Back to Grove in the dark and starting to get a little cold. A great ride even with the enforced stops! | ||
