Off Road Tuesday Evening Ride	2*

Leader: Roger Postbeschild	Start Time: 6:30 pm	Start Location: WMP
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. A modest 19km ride to open the season - should be negotiable, with care, on a gravel bike. Start is Wantage Market Place but the actual route starts at The Lord Nelson, happy to collect people there! LIGHTS WILL BE REQUIRED.
Riders: Amy Gunning Roger Postbeschild Tim Waite Riders = 3 Weather: Report: It was good to meet new member Amy and also to see Tim, for the first time in a while. In order to match the ride to the riders, the original route was modified, climbing to the Ridgeway, heading eastwards into a very chilly wind (my GPS unit recorded 4 degrees) and back via Betterton. Satisfied customers!
