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 [b][u]PePPeR[/u][/b]. 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!

[b][u]jkomo[/u][/b] 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?

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.

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.
