Tuesday 3* Evening Ride	3*

Leader: Nick Dunton	Start Time: 6:30 pm	Start Location: OMH
Description: Relatively short this evening [36.8km] but hilly. Out through Denchworth and Goosey. Climb to Kingston Lisle, then Blowingstone. Back over Hackpen and the Letcombes.
Riders: David Smith David Talboys Eddie Little Jan McCabe Jane John Jon Townsin Louis Hall Mike Cooke Nick Dunton Sharon Bedford Ursula Hallam Yvonne Bird Riders = 12 Weather: Report: Gathering storm clouds caused some apprehension at the start but we got round dry. A blustery wind slowed progress in places, particularly climbing Hackpen from Lambourn, but generally we maintained a good pace throughout. Harvesting had started on the downs above Letcombe with a toxic cloud of dust and chaff blowing across the road to the discomfort of those of us who wear contact lenses. Thanks to Jon for sweeping the ride.
