Tuesday 4* Evening Ride	4*

Leader: Richard Kembleton	Start Time: 6:30 pm	Start Location: OMH
Description: Weekly 1.5-2 hours ride at a riding pace of 25-29km/h (16-18mph). May be hilly. The rolling lanes of the Downs... up Chain Hill and a set of zig-zags through West Ilsley, Catmore, Peasemore, and Leckhampsted before coming back over the top and down Court Hill to the Letcombes. A final flat 10k through Childrey to Denchworth to set up the Dash. I'll work out where the Dash actually finishes sometime. Possibility of localised heavy rain this evening. Please keep an eye on the weather forecast and equip accordingly.
Riders: Frank Schroer Nick Stokell Paul Jarvis Phil Ward Richard Kembleton Riders = 5 Report: Three of us set out from Grove, then picked up Frank fairly promptly and Paul at the top of Chain Hill. In a perfect summer temperature we wound our way through the lanes between West Ilsley, Peasemore, and Chaddleworth with only a slight hiccup when something marked as a road on the map turned out to be bridleway... but a short detour put us back on track. Riders started dropping off in the Letcombes and only two of us made it all the way to the Dash, with Frank taking the honours. A perfect evening ride and thanks to the riders for their company.
