Report:The first ride run by CTC Wallingford for CTC Wallingford!Six of us riding, three Wallingford locals including ride leader and CTC Wallingford 'point of contact' Dan Hart. Three of us travelled from Grove (or Steventon in my case) to join them. We were lucky with the weather - a dry gap among days of rain. Dan picked a great route including the Grim's Ditch singletrack - one of the best sections around. Payback came later with 3 punctures just after collecting lots of mud in a field. Two of them for David B. (And when i got home, I found a thorn sticking in my front tyre holding the air in). Wallingford has some great trails nearby - more singletrack to compare with the broader trails and Ridgeway near Wantage. So we might make this a regular monthly pilgrimage. | ||
