Tuesday Evening 2* Ride	2*

Leader: Adrian West	Start Time: 6:30 pm	Start Location: OMH
Description: Weekly 1.5 hour rides at a riding pace of 18-20km/h (11-13mph). Not likely to be very hilly. Optional stop at The Fox in Denchworth at the end of the ride. A nice flat ride north this week to the cunning shortcut under the A420 at Fyfield. From Grove we will ride up the A338 to the Hanneys and then take the quieter back road to Garford. We then ride on the A338 again for a short while turning off at Tubney a short distance away from the fore mentioned shortcut at Fyfield. The route then heads south to Charney Basset and onto Denchworth. I will be leaving the ride at Denchworth for our regular social evening at the Fox. For those not stopping at the Fox Grove is only a short distance away and there should be plenty of people to guide you back if you aren't familiar with the route which is very simple.
Riders: Adrian West Des Higgs John Tranter Karl Blake Steve Joyce Susie Turnbull Val Smith Riders = 7 Weather: Report: Not a particularly nice night for a bike ride. Freezing wind and snow showers dogged us from the start making us take shelter under a hedge a kilometer or so into the ride on the A338. Once the initial shower subsided we decided to cut the route short and miss the underpass at the A420. We were the first group back to the Fox for the monthly social which was very pleasant.
Distance: 24.80 km (15.41 mi)
