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. . |

Report:The afternoon's rain managed to keep the tracks nice and soft, but this didn't put off the three of us who turned up for tonight's ride.We started out via the road to Wantage, then followed the Willow Lane and the path to Letcombe Regis. From there, we proceeded to Letcombe Bassett and the climb up to the Ridgeway by Smiths Hill. We now had the wind on our backs as we took the Ridgeway eastwards, dropping down the Jolly Green Giant and climbing back up again via Bitham Wood. The wind helped us again as we carried on eastwards to Scutchamer's Knob, including a jaunt on the singletrack through Scutchamer's Plantation. We then dropped down to Harwell campus and back to Wantage via East Ginge, Betterton, East Lockinge and Charlton. | ||
Distance:35.41 km (22.00 mi) | ||
