Off Road Sunday Ride 2*

Description:
No need to book formally, but please text or email the ride leader so they know you're coming. Off-road gentle ride around local tracks, 15-20 miles probably visiting Harwell.
Knobbly tyres required, it's mostly good, but puddles in places. We are keen to welcome new riders of all abilities.

Riders = 4

Weather:
sunny
Report:
Four of us started from WMP, and fortunately, Pip, arriving a bit late, found us on Ormond ROad just before we turned off for the first hill (Springfield Road).
Having promised a gentle ride, and the temperature rising, we ambled past Knights Farm and up Goddards Brook, climbing in two stages to The Ridgeway. There we headed east to Scutchamer's Knob and descended to the corner of Harwell Campus. Two at speed, three more gently, all smiling!
The next section was defined by twisting trails through the woods. Our e-bike rider, having been laughing up the hills, was less keen on the tight turns, but no-one had any problems, and lots of fun was had until we popped out on NCN544 just Northwest of Harwell Campus.
The riders agreed to add on a little extra loop via Rowstock, some extra twisty-trails-in-woods, and then we picked up the Icknield Greenway to return to Wantage via Ardington.
Distance:
27.36 km (17.00 mi)
