Tuesday Evening 2* Ride	2*

Leader: David Smith	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. Simple loop around the Vale. Along the Spring Line to Kingston Lisle, Fernham, Gainfield, Denchworth and back to Grove.
Riders: Adrian West Andy Belcher Barry Stanton David Smith Des Higgs Gareth Smith Jane John John Tranter Karl Blake Mila Yearley Richard Preece Simon John Susie Turnbull Ursula Hallam Val Smith Riders = 15 Weather: Report: An excellent turnout of 15 riders on a warm and sometimes damp evening. The Spring Line road seemed particularly busy and the undulations seemed to get most people working hard. The new road surface from the Blowingstone pub to the Baulking road were navigated safely this week if at various speeds. A loop around to Fernham and we were soon saying goodbye to Des & Adrian as they made their way home from there. The dreaded slow puncture was detected by one unlucky rider, but thanks to our chairman’s pumping prowess we all made it back to Grove without changing the tube. Thanks Richard for sweeping, John for pumping duties and to all for coming along, hope you enjoyed it!
