| Tuesday Evening Off Road Ride | 2* |
|---|
Leader:Robin Tucker |
Start Time:6:30 pm |
Start Location:WMP |
Description: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:Joined by Patrick and my brother David today. David lives in California, but the mountain biking there is famously not as good as The Ridgeway, so he came over to see what all the fuss was about 😄We picked a relatively easy but fun-packed route, with a climb up Goddards Brook being the gentlest way up The Ridgeway, then taking advantage of a slight tailwint to blow over to Harwell, meeting quite a few pieces of heavy agricultural machinery blowing dust on the way (cough cough). Down at Harwell, and a full round of the twisty woods, before heading back to Wantage on the new Icknield Greenway (with a couple of greener diversions). | ||
Distance:26.10 km (16.22 mi) | ||
