Tuesday Evening 2* Pub Ride	2*

Leader: Stephanie Haddrell	Start Time: 6:30 pm	Start Location: Old Mill Hall
Description: Please pre-book for this ride by contacting the ride leader. 1.5-2 hour ride at a riding pace of 18-20km/h (11-13mph) Hackpen and 7 Barrows Pub Night!
Riders: Anke Otto David Jackson Des Higgs Paul Kyberd Steve Swanton Riders = 5 Weather: Report: What a glorious evening to be out on the bike. Four riders left Grove to pick up Anke in Letcombe. The route took us up Holborn and Hackpen Hills which everyone completed with not much difficulty. The view from the top was incredible with the Vale bathed in sunshine. The descent down towards Lambourn was made harder by a nagging headwind and quite a poor road surface. But the ride from Seven Barrows to Blowingstone Hill was very enjoyable. The descent was as frightening as ever, but everyone coped well and we were soon back at the Fox. A very enjoyable ride with excellent company. No problems at all.
Distance: 37.00 km (22.99 mi)
