| A Bit of Rough - Inaugural Ride |
|---|
Leader:Pat Hurt |
Start Time:1:00 pm |
Start Location:WMP |
Description:Off-road riding starts here! All MTBers welcome. This will be an introductory ride of 20-25 miles to start the mud flying! Come along and let us know what sort of off-road rides you want. |

Report:6 inaugural souls ventured out through a 50/50 mixture of on-road, and off-road track, urban jungle and mud bath (where surprisingly the full suspension MTB's suffered worst of all - it was the wrong kind of mud! - SWS), covering just under 30 miles.Sauntering around to Denchworth, we then tracked to West Hanney, around the back of W. Hanney to the A420, up & across the North of Cow Common to Drayton, down through Didcot to the Didcot-Upton rail line, and then across tracks to Chilton for a well deserved tea-break. The return along the Ridgeway gave people a chance to wash the mud off by storming through some deep puddles ("It only came up to the duck's bum!"), before tanking back down hillside tracks into Wantage. Pat How's this for a recommendation from first-time rider Richard: "It really was a great day out for me today - first time ever on a MB and it was great !! Many thanks" | ||
