Tuesday Evening 3* Ride	3*

Leader: David Smith	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. An old favourite, out over Hackpen Hill, down to Lambourn and back via Seven Barrows, Lingston Lisle, Goosey and Denchworth. Light still required.
Riders: Andy Pixton Chris Walters David Smith David Talboys John Groves John Tranter Jon Townsin Joy Arthur Karen Froud Karen Townsin Mike Cooke Nicole Pethybridge Olivia Pile Richard Kidd Ruth Fisher Sara Ward Ursula Hallam Riders = 17 Weather: Report: Despite a navigational moment near the start the ride went well and according to plan. A big group, we split in to 2 until we reached the turning to the Letcombes. Holborn and Hackpen Hills were quickly dispatched, but the descent to Lambourn was slower than expected because of a headwind. The ride along the Seven Barrows road was enjoyable as usual and the descent of Blowing Stone quick! The group then made good progress back to Grove, with various people dropping off along the way as the neared home. Thanks to everyone for coming along and making it an enjoyable ride and for Andy Pixton for sweeping.
