As the winter rolls in I’m finding it hard to get the boys out riding. I’m toying with the idea of night rides. I regularly ride in the Chilterns but looking for any where in Oxfordshire or near Banbury.

Every Wednesday night from Kineton if you get stuck they generally do Road and mtb ride.

That’s not to far from home PePPeR. Time? Meeting place? How much of it is off road? Cheers

Not sure about how muchos off road especially at this time of year. But they depart from little Kineton at 7 every Wednesday evening and always include at least one pub!

Thanks gavinpearce will give the old boys a try.

Let me know how it goes, I might tag along.

jkomo I’ve emailed them and they sound like a fun buch and do a few events and weekend trips to trail centers. Where are you based?

Just south of Banbury.

Where do you ride?

I’m based in Kings Sutton & would be interested in tagging along or indeed sort our own night ride out…where are you based Danno

I’m based in Banbury. Really looking to do off road night rides which might be a little difficult around our area as it gets really sticky (unless you’ve found some good routes?). I know the Chilterns pretty well and often ride on my own but for safety would like to ride with others at night. Let me know if you’re up for it and we can sort something out.

Are they off road rides gaberin?

The Ubyk rides are offroad (as much as they can be). It’s out from central oxford so not exactly bombing down BPW, but normally up boars hill type of area and round as much singletrack as they can find.

Thanks gardron might be an option.

Hi Danno, defo interested. my email address is in my profile. drop me a line and we can swap tel. numbers…

witney mtb club do a Tuesday and Thursday night ride – quite good routes and two groups most days for different speeds

Thanks oliverracing that sounds like a good place to start. Cheers

Just bought some lights so good to go!

I belong to a local group and we ride Tue and Thu in the Chilterns.

Last night it was still dry and leaftastic.

PM me if you want to tag along.

I work down in Banbury during the week if anyone is up for evening road rides during the week I would be definitely interested (sorry the office are happy for me to store my road bike here but draw the line at my mtb)

A chap was telling me there is some sketchy stuff up on Edge Hill just north of Banbury – have you tried it ?
