Tuesday Evening Off-road Ride - Wallingford | 2* |
---|
Leader:Robin Tucker |
Start Time:6:45 pm |
Start Location:Wallingford Market Place |
Description:3rd Tuesday of the month, so starting in Wallingford at the slightly later time of 6:45pmOff-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, including the wonderful and possibly slippery Grim's Ditch. 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:A peculiar evening as both David and Richard forgot we were Wallingford based and turned up at Grove. They went riding off together, while I was on my own in Wallingford, on a dark night, with rainclouds coming.I still went riding of course. Grim's Ditch was great and I went up through Mongewell Woods and down to Well Place, then up to Checkenden on the road and found the nice little descent that I first rode on Reading CTC's off-road Audax last year. I'll include that in future routes. | ||
Distance:24.14 km (15.00 mi) | ||
