Off Road Ride

Leader: Geoff Neill	Start Time: 1:00 pm	Start Location: OMH
Description: An easy ride of about 30km along off road routes in the Vale.
Riders: Chris Lea David Bridge Geoff Neill Henk Altmann (deceased) Sorrel Williams Riders = 5 Report: A rather wet and windy day for a ride along the Ridgeway but dedicated off riders may find it ideal. We climbed up on to the Ridgeway at Scutchamer Knob riding along to a stiff easterly wind. Then left decending pass Hadcott Down to West Ilsley and through the village to take a left up pass Starweall farm. Through a wooded area and some muddy bits on to the water tower at Farnborough. Up and over Chain gang hill and down one of the best descents around pass Goddards Barn to Wets Locking.
