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:A surprisingly warm evening - almost double digits, but very windy. But just two of us feeling the blast. We both felt in need of a bit of distance ahead of the SPAM Winter Challenge, but didn't feel like too much climbing.So we went up to the Ridgeway via Crab Hill and Goddards Brook. Then down Wetherdown and back up to Betterton. We then turned right and felt the wind pushing us along, riding it past Scutchamer's Knob to the fast, sweeping Harwell descent. Then we turned into the wind and it felt like the temperature dropped as well as our speed. We plugged West, over the Bridge of Doom, and struggled up the mud coated roots on the other side. Then Ardington, Crab Hill again and back to Grove. | ||
Distance:29.61 km (18.40 mi) | ||
