Tuesday Evening Off-road Ride | 2* |
---|
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, we'll start Outside Lord Nelson pub, Lark Hill, Wantage |

Report:Richard's last Tuesday before he starts working in London, so we agreed to keep the ride short and send him off at the pub afterwards.But I thought we should get 2 Ridgeway climbs in, so we went out via Ardington and up at Betterton. Then straight over the Ridgeway and down the other side to Lands End, turning right at the bottom to come up Ice Valley. Then a final climb past Baron Wantage and a very sloppy track to the Jolly Green Giant downhill. For the finale, we decided Lark Hill was better the Goddards because it had more puddles to wash off the mud. Yes, it was that kind of a ride! Then in to the Nelson for a beer and munchies, and to talk about our plans for a Welsh adventure! | ||
