---|
Leader:David Brown |
Start Time:6:30 pm |
Start Location:OMH |
Description:Off-road ride around local tracks, usually about 15 miles. Knobbly tyres and good lights required. We are keen to welcome new riders and have spare lights available to borrow if you let me know.Dark, cold and wet - we'll ride in any 2. But please let me know if you are coming so I can tell you if I decide to cancel due to really bad weather. Optional stop at The Fox in Denchworth at the end of the ride. |

Report:No takers for the off-road tonight with work commitments and pre-ride mechnicals ruling out the regulars.After declining suggestions that I should tag along on the 3* road ride on my mountain bike, I set out towards the Ridgeway in the hope I'd find some other off-roaders on the trails and as luck would have it I caught up with Mark from Ridgeway Cycles heading up Lark Hill. We routed out towards Ilsley, Chiltern and back via the Harwell campus on a fair paced ride. My GPS registered an average moving speed of 13mph, and comparing this with just over 14mph for the 3* road ride, I think I'd have kept up just fine, but tarmac just does have the same appeal as the Ridgeway. | ||
