Tuesday Evening Off-road Ride | 2* |
---|
Leader:David Yearley |
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 two. But please let me know if you are coming so I can tell you if I decide to cancel due to really bad weather. Off-road ride around local tracks, usually about 15 miles.

Report:This was surely the most windy ride we've experienced for a very long time.The headwinds uphill to the ridgeway made for tough going, especially given the quantities of gloopy, sticky mud. This was made even worse for Richard who suffered a mechanical issue which rendered his bike a single speed. However, we pushed on, running a loop from Grove through to Challow and Childrey, up to The Ridgeway above Westcot, along to the top of the Letcombes and down Castle Hill into Letcome Regis. From there it was plain sailing out of the wind back to Wantage and Grove. Despite the conditions we all seemed to enjoy ourselves. | ||
Distance:25.00 km (15.53 mi) | ||
