Tuesday Evening Ride

Leader: Diane Stuckey	Start Time: 6:30 pm	Start Location: GMS
Description: Depending on numbers there will be fast or slower and gentler options with two ride leaders
Riders: Brian Hipwell Christine Phillips Dave McLellan Des Higgs Diane Stuckey Edith Hipwell Gareth Smith Henk Altmann (deceased) Jan McCabe Jo Bindloss-Gibb Neil Warner Peter Busby Peter Clayton Philip Thornton-Evison Steve Bruffell Steve Swanton Teresa Belcher Val Smith Riders = 18 Report: Eighteen riders left Grove with Jan leading and myself acting as sweep. We took the route through Denchworth and then on to Lyford. Turning right at Lyford the slower group went on to Southmoor while eight riders led by Steve B did a route up around Kingston Bagpuize. The slower group crossed over the footbridge to Longworth then down to Hinton Waldrest crossing over the A420 through Pusey and turning left at Gainfield. With the wind and the sun behind us we all flew down the road to Charney Bassett, back through Denchworth and home to Grove. The fast group arrived minutes after the slow riders, not sure where they had been as we expected them to fly past us near Gainfield!! Thanks Jan for a lovely ride and many thanks to Steve for taking over the fast ride - I am not sure that he had much option in the matter but neither did he object!! Diane
