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 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. Optional stop at The Fox in Denchworth at the end of the ride. |

Report:Pub night, so we headed more West than East, on a fine summer evening.We stared along the canal, then cut across to Letcombe Bassett and climbed to the Ridgeway on big ol' Gramp's Hill. Then it was west into the setting sun, enjoying a dry Ridgeway track and the descent at Sparsholt Field. Half way down the hill, I heard a bit of a crack. I stopped to check, and a small crack had indeed opened up in my my hardtail's frame. It's had a long hard life, and already been welded up once, so I think that just about wraps up its useful life But it also means the chance to buy a new frame and build it up with all the bits, which shouldn't be too expensive So it was a gentle ride to the pub, and a beer and a burger put the cap on a very pleasant evening. | ||
