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. . |

Riders:David BrownPatrick Leavey Richard Pethybridge Robin Tucker Riders = 4 Weather: Report:Felt the cooling autumn air tonight.We set off up Crab Hill, which is in reasonable shape after the foliage has died back a bit, but not yet too wet. Then up Lark Hill. David Brown, who had arrived late due to a puncture caught us up here. From the top of Lark Hill we went left, right and left again up to the Ridgeway. Then down the other side, down Ice Valley. It did feel colder, but the Garmin said 5.9C, so maybe more feel than actual. From there we climbed back up to Betterton Cross and down the north side of the Ridgeway, in fine flying style. From there we picked up some twisty tracks through the woods, headed back east almost to the bridge of Doom and looped north and west to come back into Wantage via Lockinge. | ||
