| 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:Alex PethybridgeDavid Brown David Yearley Richard Anstis Richard Pethybridge Robin Tucker Riders = 6 Weather: Report:Six of us tonight - is that a record? Pleasant evening and we headed for the pub at Denchworth.Out of Grove along the canal. Through both Letcombes and up Gramps Hill. Then along the Ridgeway and down Sparsholt Field and follow the roads and tracks to the Fox. The Sparsholt descent was particularly fun. Dry enough to pick up good speed without getting splattered, but erosion has made it a bit sketchy and bumpy in places to add to the experience. You can ride it slowly, or as fast as you dare! Distance includes the 2 miles after the pub back to Grove! | ||
Distance:27.36 km (17.00 mi) | ||
