Easy on a Sunday morning Off Road Ride | 2* |
---|
Leader:Robin Tucker |
Start Time:10:00 am |
Start Location:WMP |
Description:(Date moved to 5th August to avoid other rides booked on 12th).Given the expected sunshine, my plan is to re-run the lovely woody singletrack sections that we did on the June ride, but maybe in a different order. Should be a very nice day for it. Regular off-road rides for 2018 we are toning these down and keeping them closer to Wantage. Free parking at The Beacon, and meet at Wantage Market Place, by King Alfred. The rides will be 15-20 miles, on quiet local tracks through the woods, and maybe up to the Ridgeway. Pace equivalent to 2*, best on a mountain bike, but a cyclocross bike and if dry a robust hybrid will be fine. Call/email Robin if you would like to know more. |

Report:Another day of sun and fun.The trails were very dry and riding fast. It being warm, the woodland sections were gratefully received as breaks in the shade. We added a section in after Rowstock, heading towards The Packhorse (but no beer) and almost Steventon. This let us sample a particularly nice woody section in both directions! Then, we headed to the 'bridge of doom' across Ginge Brook - on which, as usual, nobody met their's! | ||
Distance:30.58 km (19.00 mi) | ||
