| Off Road Ride (Short) | 2* |
|---|
Leader:Robin Tucker |
Start Time:1:00 pm |
Start Location:OMH |
Description:This will be a short and gentle paced off-road ride of 10-15 miles.The big hill, The Ridgeway, will be optional! We will set off from OMH and go down Crab Hill, then gently meander to the foot of The Ridgeway. That is where we will decide who would like to make the climb and who prefers to take a more gentle option through the woods. Aim to be back at OMH by 3pm, 4pm at latest to avoid the need for lights. |

Report:Perhaps thanks to Storm Brian, or perhaps because finding the ride on the schedule was a bit of a surprise, it was only me.I kept it short, up Crab Hill, Goddards Brook and Bitham Woods. Thinking it wouldn't be a fast ride, I had brought secateurs and I did some pruning of puncture-risk brambles along the way. (I may do more gardening on Bridleways than in my garden!) At the top, it started raining heavily, so I turned 180 and headed back the same way. | ||
Distance:17.70 km (11.00 mi) | ||
