Tuesday Evening 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 2 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:It takes more than floods and strong wind to cancel the off-road ride, although we did get dangerously close to the maximum number of Dave's per ride (CTC guideline 6.5.990b).We worked our way up to the Ridgeway via Gramps Hill (Letcombe Bassett) and back down via Betterton, with mainly roads at the beginning and end to avoid the excessively muddy tracks. | ||
Distance:25.59 km (15.90 mi) | ||
