| Off-road Ride | 2* |

Leader:David Brown |
Start Time:6:30 pm |
Start Location:OMH |
Description:Off-roading in the dark is an experience you must try for your cycling life to be complete! Knobbly tyres and lights required.About 15 miles up to the Ridgeway and back down again. Sometimes, by agreement on the night, we might go a bit further. Bright lights are required for off-road riding in the dark, and a rear light for getting home. I have a spare that I can lend so you can see if you like it before buying your own. Contact me so I know to bring it. Dark, cold and wet – we'll ride in any two. But please let me know if you are coming so I can tell you if I decide to cancel due to really bad weather. |

Riders:David BrownDavid Yearley John Davies Riders = 3 Report:Up and over the Ridgeway tonight, working our way back via Lilley, Brightwalton Common and Farnborough Down. At least that's what the GPS track showed - if it wasn't for that I could have lied about where we went and my fellow riding companions would have been none the wiser, the route being new to both.Three little falls - one by me un-clipping the wrong foot when coming to a stop, and a couple by John due to cross-rutting (...getting his tyres stuck in two different ruts in the track, not a reference to deer!). A new record! Trails still dry and weather still holding out. Let's hope it stays like that for Wallingford next Tuesday. | ||
