| Off Road Tuesday Evening Ride | 2* |
|---|
Leader:Robin Tucker |
Start Time:6:30 pm |
Start Location:Wantage Market Place |
Description:Please pre-book for this ride by contacting the ride leader. 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 us know. Dark, cold and wet - we’ll ride in any two. But please let us know if you are coming so we can tell you if we decide to cancel due to bad weather or other reasons. |

Report:Wind from the East, so we went east first keeping to floor of the Vale, and worked our way out to the Harwell woods and climbed the steep but shorted climb at the corner of the campus.Then we had the benefit of a wind-assisted run on the Ridgeway back to the monument to Baron Wantage, and a fun descent of Jolly Green and Goddards Brook. I forgot to switch off my Garmin, so the distance includes a rough subtraction of my car journey home! | ||
Distance:27.36 km (17.00 mi) | ||
