Tuesday Evening 4* Ride	4*

Leader: Andy Cowan	Start Time: 6:30 pm	Start Location: OMH
Description: Weekly 1.5 - 2 hours ride at a riding pace in excess of 24km/h (15mph). May be hilly. Flat this week. Lains Barn, Rowstock, Steventon, Abindon, Marcham, Hanneys and Denchworth. As a guide I would expect we'll average 17/17.5 mph aiming to keep together as a tight group.
Riders: Andy Cowan David Smith Jason Jones Peter Cowan Phil Stubbings Simon Payne Riders = 6 Weather: Report: Much better this week. We had a good co-operative group with everyone taking a turn on an altered route keeping tight together the whole way around a quick flat route with a surprisingly high 18.6 mph average, the benefit of group riding I suppose. Many thanks to Peter for the 2nd part and setting a good pace and to Simon for his self discipline! From a leaders perspective a great group to ride with, easy to control, thanks gents.
Distance: 38.95 km (24.20 mi)

Was a nice ride thanks Andy , sadly over too early. But I guess was about right for the time of year and the daylight available to us. Average speed's I guess will always be route and group dependant. Good to see afew more rider's though.
