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. |

Riders:David BrownRichard Pethybridge Robin Tucker Willem Hilbers Riders = 4 Report:The calm after the storms (Dudley, Eunice and Franklin).It was a bit squishy, but basically ok and a little cold. Better than expected really. We found one big tree across the way. Our route was out on the path towards Lockinge, then up at Betterton, then over the other side and climb straight up again, chatting away as we do. A left before the very top this time though as we headed down a farm track and back to the road into West Ilsley. Then up to the Ridgeway again and west. We were happy and somewhat surprised at the lack of headwind. Decided to go down at Ginge, and that's where we met the big tree down across the route. We couldn't move this one, so it was bikes passed over the top and then clamber underneath. From there a mix of road and tracks took us back to Wantage. | ||
