---|
Leader:David Yearley |
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. |

Report:WE LOVE RAIN!Well, at least two of us do. The ride started in the rain, and it got heavier as we went on. A reasonably short ride tonight, given the conditions, lead us from OMH up Crab Hill to Charlton. Then up to the Ridgeway via Goddard's Brook and the Bitham Road. The old puddles from last year are all back, which made trying to avoid them pointless. We dropped down off the southern side of The Ridgeway down 'Ice Valley', then climbed back up towards the Betterton Corkscrew. Down the Corkscrew, hampered by heavy rain fogging the goggles, and back to Grove via Ardington and Lockinge. There's no such thing as bad weather, only inappropriate clothing! | ||
