Tuesday Evening 4* Ride	4*

Leader: Peter Cowan	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. Weekly 1.5 - 2 hours ride at a riding pace of 25-29km/h (16-18mph). May be hilly. A mostly flat route with a few ramps for the climbers to chew on. As its getting late into the season, I'm aiming for a pacey and disciplined return through the vale once we leave the lumpy bits. Brings lights and legs.
Riders: Andy Cowan Darran Milne Frank Schroer Jordan Slater Pete Wrench Peter Cowan Richard Hypher Riders = 7 Weather: Report: A solid run out towards WHH into a surprisingly thick headwind. Once the lumps and bumps of the Spring Line were negotiated, the group was able to hold a tight formation and make excellent progress (with a slight wind assist...) to Shillingford and beyond. New rider Peter Wrench fit straight into the 4* groove, Frank & Jordan weren't happy with 50km so departed at Hanney for some Lains Barn Loop action. A really good group, making the ride leaders' job very easy.
Distance: 50.00 km (31.07 mi)
