| Tuesday Evening Off Road Ride | 2* |
|---|
Leader:Robin Tucker |
Start Time:6:30 pm |
Start Location:WMP |
Description:This is a pre-bookable ride only. To book your place please text the ride leader no sooner than the Wednesday before the ride. 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. |

Report:After weeks of dry, tonight was when it turned. Richard spotted it and sent a warning message on our WhatsApp group 'Bring your rain jackets'We started off from WMP dry enough, and climbed up Goddards Brook, then descended Ice Valley and made another climb the other side. Going through the bluebell woods, in full flower, it started to drip. By the time we'd crossed another field it was certainly rain and the jackets went on. We continued with our plan though - it was refreshing to feel the rain after so long. At least, that's what I thought, and I was ride leader. We went down 'Twisty gnarly' - I confess I wasn't riding my best, climbed back to the Ridgeway and headed west, staying on the top as there was hardly any wind. | ||
