Tuesday Evening 2* Ride	2*

Leader: Chris Walters	Start Time: 6:30 pm	Start Location: OMH
Description: Enjoy an easy-paced ride around the local lanes. 27km. The plan for this evening is to have a go (at whatever pace we need to!) at a couple of hills - remember that "what goes up has lots of fun coming down!" If you're not comfortable climbing hills and want to learn, with a bit of help and encouragement, tonight is a great opportunity - it shouldn't be too strenuous.
Riders: Andy Cowan Brian Hipwell Chris Walters David Yearley Des Higgs Edith Hipwell Mel Westmoreland Michael Tayler Mila Yearley Phil Stubbings Steve Boreham Susan Holdroyd Tony Grimsey Riders = 13 Report: The skies didn't look too hopeful for tonight's lumpy ride, but they held off for most of the evening apart from a few spots near the base of Hackpen Hill. Everyone did very well ascending Hackpen, apart from an unnamed, cramp-struck regular who met us again later. We were the last group back as the consensus was for a longer loop back to Grove - great effort!
