Tuesday Evening 3* Ride	3*

Leader: John Talbot	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! We don't go east very often. Not been up Hagbourne Hill since it re-opened so interested to see what it's like now. 48km with cut off options if required.
Riders: Antony Cockerill Charlotte Ward Chris Walters David Talboys John Talbot Karen Froud Mike Cooke Phil Stubbings Phil Ward Riders = 9 Weather: Report: A strong group of nine riders on a blustery evening. We had a lovely tailwind to Lain's Barn and Ardington looked resplendent in the sunshine. It didn't take us long to get to the foot of Hagbourne Hill, nicely resurfaced with smooth tarmac but still a steep little incline. After Rowstock and Steventon we had a tough headwind along the Hanney Road and a loop via Lyford and Denchworth saw us back at Grove at 8.30pm, the first group back!
Distance: 47.80 km (29.70 mi)	Ride Details: https://www.strava.com/activities/341160750
