Tuesday Evening Ride

Leader: Steve Swanton	Start Time: 6:30 pm	Start Location: GMS
Description: One ride is planned to Uffington & Fernham at gentler pace. Depending on numbers we may split into two groups.
Riders: Amanda Seddon Brian Hipwell Christine Phillips Clive Elsmore Dave McLellan David Neill Des Coyle Edith Hipwell Henk Altmann (deceased) Jon Seddon Kevin Fairs Marion Jones Philip Thornton-Evison Richard Jenkinson Stephen Quartermain Steve Swanton Riders = 16 Report: 16 riders on an overcast evening for one of our longest evening rides of the year, about 23 miles. Kevin led at gentle pace out through Wantage to the Ashbury road and on to the Childrey crossroads where we dropped down into the hill and continued through the springline villages to Kingston Lisle. We all enjoyed the descent of Fawler hill and the momentum was kept up into Uffington. From Uffington we climbed to Fernham and then with the wind on our backs enjoyed a good run through Shellingford and Hatford to Stanford. Returned to Grove at 8:35 via Park Lane and Asti Stud just beating the light. Good to have Marion out with us for her first evening ride of the year abd to see Richard J back on his bike too.
