Winter Evening Ride	3*

Leader: Chris Walters	Start Time: 7:00 pm	Start Location: OMH
Description: UPDATE - ride definitely on, there may be very light rain towards the end of the ride, but it looks like we'll get away with it! Quick but flat 3* ride in the Vale for 1.5 to 2 hours covering around 40km each week. The ride usually maintains a solid 3* pace on the flat; we do not tackle hills. Will not run if icy, very windy or wet - check the website for cancellation by mid-day on the day of the ride. Weather permitting, we'll be heading out to Uffington, Longcot and Pusey tonight - along the infamous "Tranter's Lane" Good lights capable of lasting the full ride are essential, as is suitable clothing to deal with the cold.
Riders: Chris Walters David Smith David Talboys Des Higgs John Tranter Peter Cowan Simon Payne Ursula Hallam Riders = 8 Weather: Report: Amazingly, eight riders turned out. It was a bit nippy but not too bad. Tranter's Lane was safely negotiated, but the stretch from the railway bridge was very slippery, with a number of back wheels making their break for freedom. Nobody came off though. On cue, the rain started around Charney Bassett, albeit quite light.
