Tuesday 4* Evening Ride	4*

Leader: Paul Jarvis	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 A short ride as the nights are drawing in should be 2.10 minutes with about 480 Metres of climbing. Lights required as sun sets around 8.30
Riders: Carrie Kembleton Frank Schroer Jason Jones Louis Hall Nick Stokell Paul Jarvis Riders = 6 Report: Not quite the intended route ! Which seems to be a standard for me ! Five left Old Mill Hall, Through Denchworth and Sparsholt with the first climb of Eastmanton lane joining at top of Hackpen, Where we re grouped with all enjoying a blast towards Lambourn. Followed by a hard slog into the wind up Ashbury Hill. We where joined briefly by Frank as he blasted past. Having chasing us down the group split in to two with Jason and Carrie joining Frank and Me Louis and Nick following behind. Someone mentioned Dargon hill ( Louis ) So we decided to add the climb on our way past! It would been rude not to having it plastered on our jerseys. Once swiftly despatched with a quick photo stop. We re joined the intended route Via Kingston and baulking. Where Louis and Nick split off. As the sun was setting we made a final amendment to original route back through Denchworth Especially for Jason to do the Dash, I've no idea who won between Jason and Frank as far to far behind.
Distance: 55.00 km (34.18 mi)
