| Off-road Afternoon Ride | 2* |
|---|
Leader:Robin Tucker |
Start Time:1:30 pm |
Start Location:Wallingford Market Place |
Description:Twice monthly off-road ride for those who like their rides bumpy and (sometimes) muddy. These will be on the second Saturday afternoons and 4th Sunday mornings.The rides will be about 20 miles, mostly off-road, and aim to finish in time for a late lunch (whether together or heading for home). We adjust the ride to suit the riders and the weather, but in general the terrain will be rough, so a mountain-bike in good condition and with knobbly tyres is recommended. Cliff Bellis will lead this ride (contact 07815 013506), and it will be 20 miles at a gentle pace and not difficult terrain. There are just a couple of climbs: up Woodway Rd out of Blewbury and a shorter off road climb on the Ridgeway. There's the option to take a short cut back to Cholsey along the Fairmile. Barring a significant dry spell the route will be muddy in places. |

Report:4 riders, but only me from the Wantage list.We rode from Wallingford out to Aston Tirrold, then Blewbury and up to the Ridgeway. After a snack stop overlooking a valley, we headed down to Streatley and thought the Stokes back to Wallingford. A very pleasant afternoon ride. | ||
