Tuesday Evening 3* Ride	3*

Leader: Katherine Boyce	Start Time: 6:30 pm	Start Location: OMH
Description: 1.5 - 2 hours at a riding pace of 20-24km/h (13-15mph). Keeping with the hills theme that seems to have developed with evening 3* rides, I thought we'd pop up Hackpen Hill on our way to Uffington. That is, pop up in terms of most of you then waiting for me at the top 😉. We'll finish up at the Fox at Denchworth (it's club night) via Baulking and Goosey. For those not stopping at the pub, the return route from Denchworth is straightforward.
Riders: Andy Pixton Calum Clark Chris Walters David Smith David Talboys Hugo Pile Janet Charleston John Tranter Karen Froud Katherine Boyce Nicole Pethybridge Olivia Pile Peter Greenfield Simon Payne Ursula Hallam Riders = 15 Weather: Report: A good turnout, despite the threatening black clouds and the showers on and off all day. The views coming down from Hackpen Hill were well worth the climb. We passed through a couple of areas of what appeared to be recent heavy showers and encountered a strong head wind on the Baulking road. Calum kindly took spells at the front, spelled himself by Olivia for a while too. Thanks to David for sweeping. All in all another pleasant Tuesday evening club ride, rounded off at the pub!
