Tuesday Evening Off-road Ride – Wallingford | 2* |
---|
Leader:Robin Tucker |
Start Time:6:45 pm |
Start Location:Wallingford Market Square |
Description:It's the 3rd Tuesday, so we'll be riding from Wallingford.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 normally. 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 spare ones that I can lend so you can see if you like it before buying your own. Contact me so I know to bring them. 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. |

Report:Only two of us, but that's enough for a ride!We went out via Grim's Ditch then south-ish past the King William pub and down to Well Place and up to the road at the top of the hill. Then down through Mongewell Woods which was entertainingly bumpy. We returned to Grim's Ditch, but by this time it was drizzling and getting slippery. I had a wobble and then slipped over on a combination of wet roots and chalk. Only at walking speed though, so no damage done. | ||
