| Off Road Tuesday Evening Ride | 2* |
|---|
Leader:Robin Tucker |
Start Time:6:30 pm |
Start Location:WMP |
Description:As a courtesy to the ride leader, we ask that you pre-book for this ride.Off-road ride around local tracks, usually about 15 miles. Knobbly tyres required and good lights when it gets dark (‘get you home’ lights in Spring/Autumn). We are keen to welcome new riders and can make recommendations or have spare lights 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 we decide to cancel due to really bad weather. |

Report:Just me due to everyone else having work on, so I thought I'd check some trails we'd been avoiding, so up Lark Hill and Jolly Green Giant just to get warmed up then right across the road and...* Diagonal cut-across bridleway, quite tufty grass as ever, but at least the grass stops it being muddy! * Moonlit Barn, still a bit overgrown, but certainly rideable, apart from a couple of places where small trees are a bit across the trail. I got one out the way but the other needs a dismount still. ... then left along to the water tower... * trail from water tower to descent to Lands End is not too bad - a little mud in places, but all rideable downhill, and probably up too. It will only take a bit of rain for this to go bad though. * The descent was ok, although a bit slippy and I was taking it easy as really no one else around tonight ... up at Lands end to the Ridgeway, then across to the Ginge descent and * Very pleasantly surprised to find this riding really well! None of the horse-churned mud I expected on the flat bit at the bottom. ... left along the road and turn right taking the stream-side path to the top of the new ginge bridge. Riding nicely along here. Then up the ruts and along the field edge to Lockinge and the cycle path back in to Wantage. Sounds longer than 24km/15 miles, but that's what the GPS said... | ||
