Tuesday Evening Off-road Ride | 2* |
---|
Leader:David Brown |
Start Time:6:30 pm |
Start Location:OMH |
Description:Off-road ride around local tracks, usually about 15 miles. Knobbly tyres and good lights required. We are keen to welcome new riders and have spare lights available to borrow if you let me know.Dark, cold and wet - we'll ride in any 2. But please let me know if you are coming so I can tell you if I decide to cancel due to really bad weather. Optional pub stop at The Fox in Denchworth at the end of the ride. |

Report:Crabhill, Larkhill, cut across to Manor Road, up, right onto the Ridgeway, along, and for a change, left at the top of Gramp's Hill to cut across to Sheepdrove farm before working our way back to Denchworth via Sparsholt, Childrey and West Challow on road.So, a fairly typical pub-night route which no doubt we've done before, but thanks to the changing seasons no ride is ever the same. Tonight the trails were bone dry and baked hard in places, a total contrast from last week, and a world of difference from the spring and winter. Vegetation had also sprung up from whence there was only mud but a few weeks ago, thankfully little of the nettle variety. | ||
Distance:30.90 km (19.20 mi) | ||
