Tuesday Evening 2* Ride	2*

Leader: Chris Walters	Start Time: 6:30 pm	Start Location: OMH
Description: A mixed bag of a ride tonight - out up a couple of lumps along Icknield Way to the 2* Rolling Championships at Fawler Hill and then back either via Fernham or Baulking depending upon time and inclination - either option is flat. 37 km in total. Includes social stop at the Fox, Denchworth at the end of the ride.
Riders: Andy Belcher Andy Pixton Chris Walters Des Higgs John Stamp Matthew Quartermain Nicole Pethybridge Paula Tansley Richard Preece Stephen Quartermain Ursula Hallam Riders = 11 Report: At the start it looked as if we might get a few spots of rain, but fortunately it held off nicely. Matthew joined us for the first time on a 2* ride, providing the power to the Quartermain trailer bike combo. Everyone had a good go at the 2* Rolling Championships, but the slightly greasy roads made it hard to completely let go of the brakes on Fawler Hill. The genial pub stop was only marred by the complete and utter lack of crisps - so nuts it was. In the car park at the end of the ride, Matthew asked his dad if they could do 3* next week...
