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 is a short section on the A420 near Fyfield. Lights definitely advisable. Please note the ride will be lead to the clubs 3* guidelines aiming to average 15 mph as the route is flatish.
Riders: Adrian West Andy Cowan Andy Pixton Ashley Brown Barry Farquhar Cathy Brown David Smith Frank Schroer Geoff Covey Joanna Houlston John Tranter Louis Hall Neil Mowforth Nick Dunton Nicole Pethybridge Peter Cowan Phil Stubbings Richard Preece Ursula Hallam Riders = 19 Weather: Report: With a very large turnout for the 3* it seemed sensible to split the ride in to 1 group of 9 led by David sticking to the original route and pace and a faster group of 10. The slower paced group had a very pleasant ride, there was quite a headwind crossing Cow Common but not enough to be a problem. We met several other groups of cyclist on the road, obviousely everyone geting out while the sun shines! We caught up with the 2* group just before the railway bridge between Denchworth & Grove and the group split as some people went for the traditional Denchworth Dash and others stayed to chat with the 2* group. More on the other group when I hear it.
