Novices Off-Road Ride CANCELLED	1*

Leader: Robin Tucker	Start Time: 10:00 am	Start Location: 97, The Causeway, Steventon
Description: Sorry to cancel this ride at the last minute, but I have been very sick today. Please let me know if you wanted to come and I will rearrange it on another date. Robin A return of the well-received special ride for those beginning or wanting to learn a bit more about off-roading. It starts with a 'teach in' and ends with a short but pleasant ride. We'll start at my house with a bike check, and check out tyre pressures and suspension settings. (There should be enough car parking on my drive). Second we'll do a 2 mile loop up Steventon Hill and back down, which provides a chance to learn the key off-road skills for climbing, descending and going down singletrack in the woods like a Jedi. Third, for those who would like to, we'll ride a 10-mile loop up to The Ridgeway and back to sample a bigger climb and a bigger descent and put all those skills into practice. I will adjust this to suit the group on the day. See last year’s report here: http://www.ctcwantage.org.uk/rides.php?id=2753
