RIDE CANCELLED - Off Road Sunday Ride	2*

Leader: Karen Townsin	Start Time: 9:30 am	Start Location: Wantage Market Place
Description: RIDE CANCELLED - Due to heavy overnight rain and extremely low temperatures, we have decided to cancel this ride. - Please pre-book for this ride by contacting the ride leader. Off-road half day ride around local tracks, usually 15-30 miles. We are keen to welcome new riders of all abilities. A ride out to the Ridgeway via The Icknield Greenway and Chilton, looping back via Scutchamer to our start point. 37 km/ 22 miles. The tracks are wide and easy, and on Monday 22nd were in good condition. This ride would suit cyclists keen to get out and try some off-road trails with no technical difficulties. However, the distance and the fact that the ride is almost all off-road, means that it may not be suitable for those who are completely new to cycling. I will be riding a mountain bike, but depending on the weather this week, it could also be ridden on a gravel bike. We could finish with coffee in Wantage, though it might be an idea to bring a small snack for part way through the ride.
