Tuesday Evening 2* Ride	2*

Leader: Richard Kidd	Start Time: 6:30 pm	Start Location: Old Mill Hall
Description: Weekly 1.5 hour rides at a riding pace of 18-20km/h (11-13mph). Not likely to be very hilly. 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) Lockinge Hendred Loop East
Riders: Anke Otto David Hollick Paul Wensley Richard Kidd Selene Moquet Riders = 5 Report: Matthew Adamson also registered with me but switched to the 3 star ride. He told someone he thought was on my ride but I never got the message. He texted me afterwards so it was no problem. An uneventful ride apart from the route which took us down a gated marked private road east out of West Ginge. This runs parallel to the Icknield Greenway and was in regular use until the Greenway was established. Other options could have been used instead of this rough track perhaps via Scutchammer Knob. Coming out of Hendred the route took us down a designated footpath with a newish barbed wire fence on one side and overgrown hedging the other. I picked up a few flesh wounds from the barbed wire for my trouble. I suggest it would be an improvement to use an additional section of the Icknield Greenway instead of this track after a loop through Hendred.
Distance: 24.00 km (14.91 mi)
