Tuesday Evening 3* Ride	3*

Leader: Chris Walters	Start Time: 6:30 pm	Start Location: OMH
Description: Another flat-ish ride to get the legs turning, and keeping up a solid pace.
Riders: Angela Sanders Bryan Charleston Chris Walters David Ryan Des Higgs Frank Schroer Geoff Neill Janet Charleston John Talbot John Tranter Maurice Bawden Nick Dunton Paul Ryan Peter Busby Riders = 14 Report: A good turnout tonight for another flat ride. We braved the A338 traffic up to Hanney before following the prescribed route - setting a good pace which stayed with us throughout as we headed up to Abingdon and then across to Tubney and back via Fyfield and Denchworth. A few incidents of note, firstly the left-hand-drive lady who went around the mini-roundabout for 360 degrees without signalling - Nick managed to pull off a burst of speed to save his bacon, and Bryan had a cat shoot out in front of him in Denchworth - the cat may have nine lives but Bryan is less fortunate! Seriously though, with the number of potholes that we're seeing after our harsh winter, it's really important that we're riding in large groups under control and with due regard for our fellow club members - please make sure the calls and signals are relayed all the way up and down the group as it's only a matter of time before we have an avoidable accident!
