---|
Leader:Robin Tucker |
Start Time:6:30 pm |
Start Location:Outside Lord Nelson pub, Lark Hill, Wantage |
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. For winter, start Outside Lord Nelson pub, Lark Hill, Wantage |

Report:As the ground gets softer, the riding gets harder!Rain in the previous days has made the going a bit tougher than it was, and added slitheryness. Still, we were all on for a pretty solid ride this evening and clocked up 18 miles. From the Nelson we went up Lark Hill then over the road and up to the Ridgeway alongside the A338. Then we headed East, down Green Giant and up through Bytham Wood. Down Betterton and up Zigzag Hill. Down at Harwell corner and north to join the NCN and finally head for home. (With a bit of cheeky woodland in the middle). | ||
