Tuesday Evening 2* Ride	2*

Leader: Louis Hall	Start Time: 6:30 pm	Start Location: OMH
Description: Weekly 1.5 hour rides at a riding pace of 18-20km/h (11-13mph). Not likely to be very hilly. Actually, quite flat. Out through Denchworth, then West Hanney, Charney Basset and Stanford-in-the-Vale before returning via Denchworth. Crossing the River Ock and the railway twice and Childrey Brook four times! We should be back before sunset at 20:12 but bring lights if you have any distance to ride after our return to OMH.
Riders: Andy Belcher Des Higgs Ian Howland Louis Hall Steve Boreham Steve Joyce Riders = 6 Weather: Report: We left on time for a pleasant evening ride and rolled through Denchworth to West Hanney. Our good pace continued up Winter Lane until our sweeper punctured. We all stopped, of course, despite the absence of a good whistle to alert us to the situation. When we eventually restarted, there wasn't quite the same flow and ease of travel. Nothing to do with the headwind of course. We saw the swirling clouds on the downs but it was dry in the Vale as we made our way along the quiet country lanes.. We returned to OMH at 8:05, before sunset - the last road group back.
Distance: 29.00 km (18.02 mi)
