Tuesday Evening 2* Ride	2*

Leader: Nicole Pethybridge	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. Now it is high summer and everyone has experienced some hills and some good loops we will head out through Wantage, on to the spring line road and through the Letcombes. The climb of the evening (which will be taken at an easy pace) is rewarded with a swooping downhill, through Sparsholt & Kingston Lisle and a lovely flat run home to Goosey and Denchworth Approx 18 miles
Riders: Adrian West Barry Stanton Bethany Tranter Bryony Stott Des Higgs John Tranter Karen Townsin Karl Blake Nicole Pethybridge Roger Postbeschild Sara Ward Riders = 11 Weather: Report: What a wonderful evening. Enough heat to warm the legs nicely before climbing through the Letcombes and swooping back down again. Meandering alongside the spring line road before turning towards Blowingstone. The road has recently been resurfaced and is the smoothest for miles around. However enthusiasm for such a rare surface go the better of one rider who came a cropper on the bend. Minor mishap to both bike and body and we were all back on the road again. Enjoying the sunshine we made our way safely back to Grove in search of ice creams and BBQs
Distance: 29.00 km (18.02 mi)
