Tuesday Evening 2* Ride	2*

Leader: John Tranter	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. I hope this isn't cheating, but I realised we hadn't done Hackpen since June, and everyone seemed to like going down Blowingstone, so a repeat route: Through the Letcombes and up our favourite pair of little hills: Holborn and Hackpen. Then we carry on down the other side towards Lambourn, take a right back over Seven Barrows, down (mercifully, down) Blowingstone Hill, then also down Kingston Lisle Hill and via Goosey and Denchworth home. NB: please bring lights as the nights are drawing in.
Riders: Adrian West Brian Hipwell Des Higgs Ian Howland John Tranter Joy Arthur Karen Townsin Maurice Bawden Mike Bailey Steve Joyce Riders = 10 Weather: Report: A few spots of ride at the beginning were a bit worrying, but the evening got better and by the end of the ride we had rainbows and a glorious sunset. A good gallop up the hills and a good pace throughout. Thanks to all for a lovely ride!
Distance: 37.01 km (23.00 mi)	Ride Details: http://ridewithgps.com/trips/6054615

Great ride John. A bit of everything - climbing, descending and lovely evening light to finish in.
