| 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:Firstly, welcome to Patrick on his first off-road ride with CTC Wantage.We were just three tonight and opted for a reasonably short ride. From the Old Mill Hall in Grove we took the cycletrack to Wantage and the path around Harcourt and Charlton up to the bottom of Larkhill. From there we went via the bridal path to Lockinge and up to the Ridgeway via Goddard's Brook and the point to point course. After a bit of messing around with a split tyre, probably caused by a flint, which was failing to self-seal, we proceeded along the Ridgeway and dropped down the Ginge singletrack. From there it seemed only right and proper to introduce Patrick to The Bridge of Doom, before heading back to Wantage and Grove. We will continue to ride through the winter. It looks like decent lights will be needed for next week onwards, as otherwise it will be a bit tricky on the downhill sections, especially through the woods. | ||
Distance:24.00 km (14.91 mi) | ||
