| Tuesday Evening Off-road Ride | 2* |
|---|
Leader:Robin Tucker |
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. |

Riders:Allen StaceyDavid Brown David Talboys David Yearley Nick Stokell Paul Moore Richard Pethybridge Robin Tucker Riders = 8 Weather: Report:8 of us tonight! And it seems the weather has improved - for which I think we must thank the road contingent for deciding to end their winter series.However, it hadn't dried up enough to change Crab Hill, so we set off along the cycle path to the Nelson and then to Betterton and up the Ridgeway. As we were all feeling strong, we went down the other side and up again to Scutchhamer's Knob. Then down again to the campus corner and left at the bottom. Always a fun descent, this time with added bumpiness due to hoof prints at the bottom. Sustrans Ginge, then along the brook, up the rooty section and eventually to Ardington. We came back via Lain's Barn. A good fun ride at a fair pace. | ||
Distance:27.36 km (17.00 mi) | ||
