Off Road Thursday Evening Ride	2*

Leader: Eddie Little	Start Time: 6:30 pm	Start Location: Ridgeway Cycles
Description: Please pre-book for this ride by contacting the ride leader. Off-road ride around local tracks, usually about 10 - 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.
Riders: Alan Berry Andrew Wornham David Buckingham Eddie Little James Bosley James Pearson Jane John Nigel Reid Selene Moquet Simon Atkin Tim Waite Wendy Berry Riders = 12 Weather: Report: Earlier rain showers and threatening dark skies didn’t deter 12 riders from coming out to enjoy some fun on the trails. Fortunately the weather stayed dry for our ride. The route included two fun descents, Old Street and Ginge, which all riders seem to enjoy. An enjoyable evening with a great group. Many thanks to Jane for secondary leading and for the lovely photos. Also, many thanks to James for sweeping duties.
