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 2. Please check this entry before setting out in case I decide to cancel due to really bad weather.
Riders: David Yearley Richard Pethybridge Robin Tucker Riders = 3 Weather: Report: Two new riders tonight, Nick and Rob, so we showed them some of our commonly-used trails to see if they liked them. The run out via Crab Hill is a bit wet and slippery now. Certainly still passable, but I think all of has a 'moment'. Then it was up to the Ridgeway in a couple of stages via Goddards Brook. On the top we could feel the wind. Our eastbound journey on top of the Ridgeway was eased by this. We came down on the corner of Harwell campus, a fast run down. It was clear from the whoops that everyone enjoyed this! Then it was back to Wantage through Ginge and Lockinge. At Watnage we parted ways with 3 going into Wantage, and Richard and I taking on Crab Hill once more.
Distance: 24.78 km (15.40 mi)
