Saturday morning off-road ride | 2* |
---|
Leader:Robin Tucker |
Start Time:10:00 am |
Start Location:Crowmarsh Gifford Primary School. OX10 8EN |
Description:Our monthly off-road ride for those who like their rides bumpy and (sometimes) muddy. Held on the second Saturday of each month, we start from various locations to take in some of the best tracks in the south of the County.This one is based on the classic 'Judge's Ride' and includes the twisty Grim's Ditch singletrack and climbing and descending through Mongewell woods. The ride will be about 20 miles, mostly off-road. The terrain will be rough, so a mountain-bike in good condition and with knobbly tyres is recommended. We aim to finish in time for a late lunch (whether together or heading for home). |

Report:Only two of us today, possibly because of the drizzle. This kept going on-and-off through the ride, but never really made us properly wet. We were in the woods a lot of the time and that helped.All-in-all a very nice run with a few good ups and downs. Nick did slide off on one wet chalky bit, but at slow speed into some very soft bushes, so no damage done! | ||
Distance:38.62 km (24.00 mi) | ||
