| Tuesday Evening Off-road Ride | 2* |
|---|
Leader:Robin Tucker |
Start Time:6:30 pm |
Start Location:OMH |
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:The rains returned. We were gently drizzled on for most of the ride, so we didn't feel like a long epic.But, we did still go up to the Ridgeway and back down again. Out along Crab Hill and Goddard's Brook - it actually felt like we were riding up the stream here! Then at the top of Betterton descent, Richard A noted a strange noise which turned out to be worn-out rear brake pads. Is it good to discover that at the top of a steep, fast, wet descent? Probably better than finding out half way down. Anyway, perhaps a bit more gingerly than usual, we did all arrive safely at the bottom, and with big mud spattered grins! Then back via Charlton and Crab Hill again. | ||
Distance:20.92 km (13.00 mi) | ||
