Tuesday Evening 3* Ride	3*

Leader: David Smith	Start Time: 6:30 pm	Start Location: OMH
Description: A slightly longer route tonight at 30 miles (47km) but not intended to be “fast and furious”. Out to Abingdon via Denchworth and Steventon. Heading back to Grove via Frilford Heath, Fyfield, Hinton Waldrist, Gainfield, Charney Basset and Denchworth. There one short section of reasonable track between Tubney and Fyfield, just to avoid a stretch on the A420.
Riders: Amanda Seddon Andrew Johnson Andy Cowan David Smith Frank Schroer Janet Charleston Phil Stubbings Ursula Hallam Riders = 8 Report: An excellent ride with a very tight group this evening. There was sunshine, it was warm and very little wind, almost perfect conditions. Unfortunately one of us suffered a major puncture just before Steventon and had to retire, hopefully you made it home safely? The ride was taken at a very good pace, my bike computers claims we managed to average 16.6 mph, but we kept the group together and everyone helped out at the front. Unfortunately my GPS batteries ran out as we entered Denchworth on the way home so I only have a partial record of the route.
Distance: 48.99 km (30.44 mi)	Ride Details: http://ridewithgps.com/trips/724085
