David Yearley
Start Time:
6:30 pm

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:
Tonight's ride welcomed Phil and Jonty of their first CTC Tuesday Evening Off Road Ride, both of whom were adventurous enough to ride on cyclocross bikes.

We rode from OMH out to Wantage, via Crab Hill and then up Lark Hill and onwards through the Bitham Wood to The Ridgeway.

From there the route took us eastwards and then down the Ginge singe track, before climbing back up to The Ridgeway again via the S bends. We then headed westwards along The Ridgeway as far as the A338, and took a loop that saw us cross back over the Chain Hill road, before dropping down into Lockinge via Goddard's Brook, and back to Grove via Crab Hill.
Distance:
29.61 km (18.40 mi)
