Tuesday Evening 2* Ride	2*

Leader: John Tranter	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. A north Vale loop tonight, passing through the lovely villages of Garford and Fyfield, rarely visited by the 2* group. We will hone our technical skills over the Southmoor footbridge from the north before dropping back down to Denchworth for the optional stop at The Fox. 21 miles for the full ride back to Grove.
Riders: Gareth Smith John Tranter Mila Yearley Richard Preece Roger Postbeschild Val Smith Riders = 6 Weather: Report: An unusual evening as many of our regular 2* riders decided to test themselves on a flat 3* route. This left the 2* ride with four riders - going for a "quality rather than quantity" sort of vibe. It was a very pleasant ride, apart from the suicidal white van driver at Garford who very nearly caused an accident. As we passed through Southmoor, we came across Gareth and Val, who had arrived at the start late and decided to do their own ride. It all worked out well... A few spots of rain as we got to the pub, but nothing significant. Thanks to all for a nice ride!
