|---|
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. Optional stop at The Fox in Denchworth at the end of the ride. |

Report:Only 2 of us tonight, and we picked a slightly longer way to the pub than usual.Crab Hill and Lark Hill were quickly dispatched, then it was across to the A338 and up Manor Hill and on to the Ridgeway west. At the B4001, instead of keeping straight on, we turned left and enjoyed a short piece of dark woody singletrack and the well-rutted descent to Seven Barrows. Then it was northwards via Sparsholt FIeld and Childrey to a well-earned beer at the Fox in Denchworth. Going home, we decided to try the cross-country route to Grove. This proved to be passable, but very bumpy. So i got to ride a trail that I'd never ridden before, but I don't think I'll be rushing back! | ||
Distance:33.80 km (21.00 mi) | ||
