Tuesday Evening 4* Ride	4*

Leader: Paul Jarvis	Start Time: 6:30 pm	Start Location: OMH
Description: Weekly 1.5-2 hours ride at a riding pace of 25-29km/h (16-18mph). May be hilly. LIGHTS A MUST FOR THE LAST RIDE OF THE SEASON! Denchworth, Goosey, Baulking, Uffington, Compton Beauchamp, Ashbury. Group at top of hill. Descend and ride as a group to Lambourn. Taking a direct route via B4001 descending Hackpen. Regroup back via Letcombes, Wantage and Grove. Approximately 28 miles with 300 meters of climbing plenty of flat to keep the average speed high enabling us to finish ahead of sunset.
Riders: Andy Pixton Frank Schroer Jason Jones Paul Jarvis Peter Cowan Richard Kidd Richard Saunders Riders = 7 Weather: Report: The final summer ride has come along too quickly with the sun setting earlier. Seven set out with two new riders which hopefully proves that 4* has been resounding success. We made good pace out to Uffington but as the leader left his garmin at home you`ll have to take my word for that .Next followed the Compton Beauchamp climb which Peter achieved a top ten on strava, no guesses who was last! Moving swiftly up Ashbury Hill followed by a chase down to Lambourn and the climb back up to the Hackpen descent, where we all re grouped before a leisurely pace back to Wantage with still some light approximately 50k in 1:45 minutes. Well done to all the riders who have joined to make 4* an established group.
Distance: 50.00 km (31.07 mi)
