| Off Road Tuesday Evening Ride | 2* |
|---|
Leader:Robin Tucker |
Start Time:6:30 pm |
Start Location:WMP |
Description:It's cold, but we are riding tonight!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:Very cold but dry conditions led to a cracking ride - where the cracking was the repeated sound of ice on puddles breaking under our wheels. I saw -4.8C on my Garmin, not sure how accurate that is, but once we had climbed Segsbury Hill we were warm enough.We set off with a dream of reaching White Horse Hill. Due to a late start and a puncture, that wasn't realised, but we did make it to Sparsholt Field for a great run down. Then we returned through Childrey and Challow. | ||
Distance:19.31 km (12.00 mi) | ||
