Tuesday Evening Rides Resume

Leader: Steve Swanton	Start Time: 6:30 pm	Start Location: GMS
Description: Our popular Tuesday evening rides resume for the summer and will continue every week through to early September. Depending on numbers there will be faster or slower and gentler options for exploring the Vale. Tonight will be a flat ride, heading to West Hanney, where the group will split to return via Charney Basset, with a possible extra loop towards Southmoor. 16-25Km depending on inclination!
Riders: Brian Hipwell Christine Phillips Denise Clark Doug Hatto Edith Hipwell Gareth Smith Helen Dorsett Jan McCabe Jane Phillips Katie Yardley Kay Gardner Kevin Fairs Mel Roberts Neil Warner Nick Yardley Peter Clayton Philip Thornton-Evison Steve Swanton Val Smith Vicky Fox Wenfeng Yang Riders = 21 Report: A great start to this year's Tuesday rides with 21 riders congregating on a sunny spring evening. We welcomed back a number of Tuesday evening regulars and newcomers Denise, Katie, Nick and Doug. A leisurely pace to start with to Hanney where 14 riders elected to join Kevin for the faster ride - they had been warned. The select group of leisurely riders continued on Winter lane to the Lyford/Garford crossroads and turned left to Charney, while the fast group continued to the next junction. As we left Charney heading back to Grove we were overtaken by Kevin with 6 or 7 riders in tow, the rest following a few hundred yards behind. The fast group turned off towards Goosey and Asti Stud (having regrouped) while we continued directly back via Denchworth only to be caught again by the faster riders as we reached Grove. A few red faces and deep breaths at the end, but everyone seemed to enjoy it and left saying 'see you next week'. 11 or 15 miles. Steve S.
