Off Road Tuesday Evening Ride | 2* |
---|
Leader:Robin Tucker |
Start Time:6:30 pm |
Start Location:Wantage Market Place |
Description:Please pre-book for this ride by contacting the ride leader. Off-road ride around local tracks, usually about 15 miles. Knobbly tyres required and good lights when it gets dark (‘get you home’ lights in Spring/Autumn). We are keen to welcome new riders and can make recommendations or have spare lights to borrow if you let us know. Dark, cold and wet - we’ll ride in any two. 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. |

Report:Lots of people with excuses tonight, but the two of us out found the weather a perfect sunny evening and the puddles mostly dired up.We went up Goddards and down opposite Betterton to Lands End and up into Bluebell Woods again, but this time at the end continued and turned left on the track that heads to East Ilsley. We didn't go that far though, dropping down 'Twisty Gnarly' which was actually in finer riding condition than I've known for about 5 years, apart from being a bit grassy on the bottom. Then climb up back the The Ridgeway, with fine views of the rolling fields (and A34!) before heading west, into the setting sun and down for a great descent at Ginge. | ||
