Tuesday Evening 3* Ride	3*

Leader: Adrian West	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 favorite! A flat ride out to Steventon, Drayton, Abingdon, Shippon, Gozzards Ford, Tubney and the hidden underpass at the A420, or if we feel up for it a dash down the 420 itself. We then head to Charney Bassett, Denchworth and Grove. Dependent on wind, we might do this route in reverse. We shall see on the night.
Riders: Adrian West Alan Gale Chris Walters David Talboys Des Higgs Jane John John Groves Joy Arthur Mike Cooke Nick Dunton Richard Pethybridge Roger Postbeschild Tony Clark Riders = 13 Weather: Report: A great turnout for this ride with some very strong riders. The ride was quick, maybe too quick at stages as the ride leader got a bit carried away. Two thirds of the way round fatigue set in at the front and the ride slowed down to a moderate 3* pace. No incidents apart from a few items leaping off of bikes. We arrived back at OMH well before any of the other groups rolled in. A good solid workout Please see ride link as my Strava recorded me riding to and from home.
