Description:Off-road ride around local tracks, usually about 15 miles. Knobbly tyres and good lights required.

Report:Six of us turned out tonight, five from CTC Wantage and an RN friend of Richard riding as a guest. Handily he was another David, so with 3 such named individuals identification was easy.Out via Chain Hill to Lockinge, up Goddard's Brook and then west to Furzewick Farm before climbing up to the Ridgeway. A blast along the top was followed by an even faster one down Wether Down and Ice Valley before the slog back up to Scutchamer's Knob. A very dark but fast descent of Ginge Drop tested the nerves of most of us, before we returned to OMH via Lockinge and Crab Hill in reverse. | ||
