Off Road Sunday Ride | 2* |
---|
Contact:Karen Townsin - 07768066413 |
Start Time:9:30 am |
Start Location:Wantage Market Place |
Description:Please pre-book for this ride by contacting the ride leader. Off-road half day ride around local tracks, usually 15-30 miles. We are keen to welcome new riders of all abilities.A ride out to the Ridgeway via The Icknield Greenway and Chilton, looping back via Scutchamer to our start point. 37 km/ 22 miles. The tracks are wide and easy, and on Monday 22nd were in good condition. This ride would suit cyclists keen to get out and try some off-road trails with no technical difficulties. However, the distance and the fact that the ride is almost all off-road, means that it may not be suitable for those who are completely new to cycling. I will be riding a mountain bike, but depending on the weather this week, it could also be ridden on a gravel bike. We could finish with coffee in Wantage, though it might be an idea to bring a small snack for part way through the ride. |
