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. 25 - 40km. May be hills on some weeks. No hills this week - we'll be going out via Steventon to Abingdon, Fyfield and back via Lyford. 37km - an opportunity to go a little quicker on easier terrain.
Riders: Brian Hipwell Chris Walters John Stamp Michael Tayler Paula Tansley Steve Boreham Riders = 6 Report: Even as late as 5pm, the weather forecast looked hopeful. By 6.29, it was clear that it was going to be yet another wet ride, so we set off anyway, down the A338 and up to Abingdon via Steventon. The worst of the rain was just before Abingdon, and it rather obligingly stopped raining around the Marcham area, with an uneventful return. Well done everyone for riding at a decent pace and putting up with the weather. It truly was awful, but it's amazing how a smile and a chuckle can overcome the worst of what gets thrown at us.
