Off Road Sunday Ride | 2* |
---|
Leader:Roger Postbeschild |
Start Time:9:30 am |
Start Location:OMH |
Description:Please pre-book for this ride by contacting the ride leader. Off-road half day ride around local tracks, usually 15-30 miles. Knobbly tyres required. We are keen to welcome new riders of all abilities. Sometimes we ride in cold and/or wet - but please let us know if you are coming so we can tell you if we decide to cancel due to bad weather or other reasons.A ride unashamedly stolen from Eddie. An excursion on to the downs. Although I am starting from OMH, I am happy to collect Wantage based riders at around 9.40 by The Lord Nelson at the foot of Larkdown Hill. The route would be OK for hardcore gravel bike riders but a mountain bike would be more comfortable! Coffee stop at Chilton Garden Centre. |

Report:Just four riders for the first Sunday off-road ride of August - I know of a number of potential riders who are away at the moment though.Having made it up to The Ridgeway, we rode along it until just before the A34 with a glorious tail wind, then down to Ilsley and past Mick Channon's establishment (until he sells it) where we met our first muddy section - thankfully short. The showers arrived here, the girls donned rain tops whereas the boys had believed the forecast....... We quickly dried off however! Coffee and refreshment were taken at Chilton Garden Centre and we returned via the Icknield Greenway. | ||
