Riders:Barry BakerJon Seddon Mike Stead Peter Clayton Stuart Webb Riders = 5 Report:A short introductory ride for bike week.The group rode to Lockinge via the by-way starting at Larkdown. We then took a bridleway from West Lockinge all the way to the Ridgeway. This was followed by a stretch of the Ridgeway, then down to the road at Wheather Down to Lands End. A section of road including a short climb took us to another bridleway past the dog kennels at Starveall Farm. This track joins to a RUPP connecting Lands End to Beedon. We headed back in the Lands End direction down a very bumpy track that had the arms of those with rigid forks smarting. From here we took a byway (thankfully free of puddles now) to Scutchamer's Knob, to finish the off road riding with a superfast descent down a bridleway crossing Grim's Ditch. From here it was a gentle road ride back to Wantage with one final pass along the Lockinge to Wantage track. | ||
