Tuesday Evening 3* Ride	3*

Leader: Chris Walters	Start Time: 6:30 pm	Start Location: OMH
Description: A shorter ride for the penultimate ride of the season, with a stop at the Fox at Denchworth for a little social with the 2* group. Aiming to get to the Fox around 7:45. Out via Childrey to Uffington and back via Goosey. Lights required for the return to Grove.
Riders: Amanda Seddon Chris Walters David Emms Des Higgs Ginny Henderson John Talbot Ken Pelton Maurice Bawden Peter Busby Peter Greenfield Tony Smith Riders = 11 Report: A very pleasant evening - the wind had all gone, so it was a joy to be out in the stall air. Ginny and Tony rode with us to Childrey and then peeled off to do some chores, while Chris and John held an impromptu freewheeling contest from the top of Fawler Hill. I reckon you can almost get to Uffington... maybe we should hold a club freewheeling competition? We had a jolly hour or so in the Fox. joined by Liz, Steve and Adrian from the 2* bunch, and Jon who'd ridden out to meet us. Arriving back at Grove in the dark, it was clear that newcomer Ken had not made it; indeed, he'd managed to follow Maurice some of the way back to Southmoor, until he realised the error and came back via the Hanneys instead! Welcome Ken - we don't often lose any riders... and we hope to see you again soon!
