| Off Road Tuesday Evening Ride | 2* |
|---|
Leader:Robin Tucker |
Start Time:6:30 pm |
Start Location:WMP |
Description:Please check website to see if we run this post-Christmas ride!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:An extra long turkey burner designed by Richard and quite heavy going in places, to understate it massively.We set out via the canal, then climbed up to the Ridgeway at Sparsholt Field. On to White Horse Hill. Then south to Lambourn, feeling easier but we were losing height. From Lambourn we headed back towards Sheepdrove, turning East at triangle farm to climb a slippery slope, very difficult going. Eventually we found our way back to the Ridgeway south of Letcombe. We continued East, descending Green Giant and Goddards Brook. Finally back into Wantage for a Christmas beer! | ||
Distance:43.45 km (27.00 mi) | ||
