Tuesday Evening Rides

Leader: Edith Hipwell	Start Time: 6:30 pm	Start Location: OMH
Description: We will aim to have two rides leaders for 2* and 3* options.
Riders: Alex Gaberscik Brian Hipwell Bryan Charleston Chris Walters Colin Appleton Dean Douglas Des Higgs Edith Hipwell Geoff Neill Ginny Henderson John Stamp Maurice Bawden Michael Tayler Peter Busby Philip Thornton-Evison Richard Anstis Sorrel Williams Riders = 17 Report: The 3* ride tonight went from Wantage along the spring line road below the Ridgeway and into the wind. After a brief respite for most (Dean and Bryan did a quick detour around White Horse Hill), we then dropped down into the Vale through Knighton and Uffington, to sail back via Goosey. Definitely a ride of two halves, the first part being very undulating and hard into the wind, and the way back being pan-flat with the wind to our backs. Special mention to Richard who rode the whole route on his MTB with a trailer as training for his forthcoming "5 countries and 500 miles in 5 days" challenge - chapeau!
