Tue Jul 7th 2015
Tuesday Evening Off-road Ride 2*
Leader:
Robin Tucker
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.
Riders:
Bob Wyatt
David Yearley
Robin Tucker
Riders = 3

Weather:
windy (fine)
Report:
A pleasant dry evening although a bit windy. And a new to the group appearance from Bob.

We started up Crab Hill, Goddards Brook and on to the Ridgeway. Then, after checking that Bob was up to it, we went down the back of Betterton and back up to Scutchamer's Knob.

We went down the Harwell descent - always a blast!

Then to give Bob a final test, we approached the 'bridge of doom'! He handled it with aplomb, and a big grin (or was it gritted teeth?)

We returned the way we came out and got back to Grove at about 8:40.
Distance:
31.40 km (19.51 mi)
