Tuesday Evening Off-road Ride | 2* |
---|
Leader:Robin Tucker |
Start Time:6:30 pm |
Start Location:OMH |
Description:Off-roading in the dark is an experience you must try for your cycling life to be complete! Knobbly tyres and lights required.About 15 miles up to the Ridgeway and back down again. Sometimes, by agreement on the night, we might go a bit further. Bright lights are required for off-road riding in the dark, and a rear light for getting home. I have 2 spare ones that I can lend so you can see if you like it before buying your own. Contact me so I know to bring them. Dark, cold and wet – we'll ride in any two. But please let me know if you are coming so I can tell you if I decide to cancel due to really bad weather. |

Report:A bit drizzly tonight, but we did get back before the rain starter properly.We started up Crab Hill, which is now very musshy and slippery. From there we picked more solid terrain - up at Betterton and down at Harwell Campus. Then back via Sustrans to Lockinge and Lains Barn. DB had an early puncture and the slime wouldn't stick. But once he swapped the tube the ride was trouble free. And the rain didn't seem to bother the usual good humoured banter! | ||
Distance:23.34 km (14.50 mi) | ||
