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. |

Riders:John SpeakmanMichael Zywko Richard Pethybridge Robin Tucker Steve Legate Riders = 5 Weather:Report:Summer time and the trails are bone dry - but only until Thursday, so let's get some miles in.We rode to Letcombe and up the hill, the west and down at Seven Barrows, which really ought to be called 'Seven Ruts' (and none of them the right one. But that's only the bottom quarter, the rest of the hill is good fun! Then we headed north back up to the Ridgeway and straight over down Sparsholt Field the other side, which was running really well, always a little intense with little drops and lots of loose stones, plus this time a group of young women hiking up the other way (pedestrians have priority of course!) Then we followed roads to Childrey and picked up the Bridleway and Canal back into Wantage. | ||
Distance:27.36 km (17.00 mi) | ||
