Tuesday Evening 3* Ride	3*

Leader: Katherine Boyce	Start Time: 6:30 pm	Start Location: OMH
Description: Weekly 1.5 - 2 hours at a riding pace of 20-24km/h (13-15mph). May be hilly. This ride will be at the LOW end of the grade but still within it. Thought it would be nice to pop out to Faringdon this evening. One hill but otherwise a pleasant flat ride and anyone that knows me and hills Will tell you it will be taken at a slow pace!
Riders: Charlotte Ward Chris Walters David Talboys John Quinn Jon Townsin Karen Townsin Katherine Boyce Mike Cooke Nicole Pethybridge Sara Ward Riders = 10 Weather: Report: Made a nice change to be out on a warm pleasant midsummer evening with just a light breeze after some of the weather we've had in recent weeks. We welcomed some new Tuesday evening 3* riders: Sara, Charlotte and John. It soon became clear that all were natural 3* riders . We bowled along to Uffington, made light work of the hill out of Fernham and swept through Faringdon town centre, a slight stringing out as we recrossed the a420 before ticking Charney off the list. As we left Denchworth we spied the 2* riders in front and exchanged greetings before pressing home. A very pleasant ride. Thank you all, especially Jon who did a sterling job back marking.
Distance: 38.66 km (24.02 mi)
