Tuesday Evening 3* Ride	3*

Leader: Chris Walters	Start Time: 6:30 pm	Start Location: OMH
Description: "The Lumpy One" Too many flat rides, so it must be time to tackles some hills. Out up Chain Hill, the swoop down to West Ilsley followed by a climb and drop over to Lilley, the climb to Brightwalton and then the climb over Wooley, and finally for dessert, the climb back up the A338. Simples. 36 km and 460m of climbing.
Riders: Chris Walters David Talboys Fiona Marshall Hugo Pile John Talbot Jon Townsin Karen Townsin Nicole Pethybridge Rachel Bennett Riders = 9 Weather: Report: It was wet. It was hilly. I'm not sure there are any other words to say here. Other than that everyone rode very well in pretty appalling conditions. Thanks to Nicole for sweeping tonight - not an easy job given the conditions. And the ride up the A338 into the wind and into the rain to finsh off with was "character building". Loved every minute of it.
