Tuesday Evening Off-road Ride | 2* |
---|
Leader:Robin Tucker |
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 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:It started so well, with pleasant sunshine and DB's new bike, albeit with a forecast of possible rain. We went up Crab Hill and Lark Hill, then across the road and up to the Ridgeway near Manor Road.From there, we headed East on the Ridge, with a drop down Jolly Green Giant and a climb back up. We smugly looked north at the dark dark clouds and reckoned that we might get away with it. So we went to the fast, fun descent to the corner of Harwell campus, then headed North. It was about here that the rain hit. Fortunately, we found some tracks through the woods near Harwell and managed to stay in them for quite a while. But eventually, we decided to retrace some of our steps (pedals?) and head back via tracks at the base of the Ridgeway. We arrived back in Grove slightly damp, and ready for curry | ||
Distance:30.58 km (19.00 mi) | ||
