Off Road Sunday Ride | 2* |
---|
Leader:Eddie Little |
Start Time:9:00 am |
Start Location:Lord Nelson, Charlton Road. |
Description:Please pre-book for this ride by contacting the ride leader. Off-road half day ride around local tracks, usually 15-30 miles. Knobbly tyres required. We are keen to welcome new riders of all abilities.The first part of the ride takes us out through Lockinge & Betterton following the bridleway up through Great Bottom Wood, then passing over the Ridgeway descending to Landsend. We’ll then come back up via Old Street & follow the Ridgeway out as far as Sparsholt Firs. We’ll then take the nice descent into Sparsholt stopping at Cantorist Farm/Cafe Childrey for morning coffee. I’m hoping we can return to Wantage via the Wilts & Berks Canal. I will check the condition of the tow path before Sunday. If the tow path is too muddy, then we will return to Wantage via the bridleway which takes us up through East Challow. Ride distance 20 miles/ 32km. |

Report:It was really nice to lead my first off road ride of the year with full sun.The ride covered a number of different trails, from villages to the Ridgeway & the Wilts & Berks Canal. The condition of the trails were excellent. It was also nice to see so many other cyclists out enjoying the Ridgeway. We all enjoyed a very nice refreshment stop at Cantorist Farm, Childrey. Thanks to everyone for being a nice & easy group to lead. | ||
