| 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:Such a beautiful evening and we decided to explore the 'Bluebell woods' to the south of the Ridgeway.... and then it escalated a bit... until we found ourselves getting almost, but not quite to Chieveley. We then found a 'well-horsed' track to push for a bit in the mud until a much better fieldside option was discovered, and we turned the corner and headed back north via Leckhampstead and Brightwalton (twice). A great 24 miles after which your author was feeling nicely prepared for the Cotswold Audax the following day! | ||
Distance:38.62 km (24.00 mi) | ||
