| Tuesday Evening Off-road Ride | 2* |
|---|
Leader:David Brown |
Start Time:6:30 pm |
Start Location:OMH |
Description:Off-road ride around local tracks, usually about 15 miles. Knobbly tyres required. |
||
Report:Arms and legs buzzing from nettles, brambles and grit. Mouth and nose filled with flys. All signs of a good ride.Our route took us out west via the canal, then the Letcombes, up Gramps hill and across the Ridgeway where we met the 2* road ride at the top of Hackpen Hill. We then set ourselves a little challenge to blast past the 2*, cut through an off-roaded wooded track and re-join the road before the road riders caught up with us - it was close, but we just about made it. Then it was down Seven Barrows, where overgrowing trees, punctures and deep ruts slowed us considerably, but we still managed to make it down to the road just in front of the 2* ride again  . | ||
