Tuesday Evening Rides

Leader: Jan McCabe	Start Time: 6:30 pm	Start Location: GMS
Description: Two rides leaders for faster and leisurely ride options.
Riders: Angela Douglas (dec) Brian Hipwell David Bridge Diane Stuckey Edith Hipwell Henk Altmann (deceased) John Tranter Kevin Fairs Mark Rowbottom Peter Busby Stephen Quartermain Riders = 11 Report: We all left to go to West Hanney via Denchworth. Kevin got as far as the latter and decided that his legs were like jelly after the Sunday ride so he returned home. The remainder of us split up after Hanney, the fast group going around Fyfield to Longworth while the remainder went slowly onto Southmoor and over the bridge. By the time we reached Longworth the fast group was already upon us!! We all came back on the same route via Pusey, Gainfield and Charney Basset. Brian who had dropped back passed the slower group just before Gainfield and then somehow missed the faster group who decided to go on a detour after Charney Basset! When the slow group arrived back in Grove, Edith who had been leading the fast ride was on her way back to find Brian! I presume that he had just gone home and Edith finally caught up with him there. The fast group must have covered approx 35 kms while the rest of us took it very gently over the 30km route. On leaving Millbrook Square to cycle the short distance home the heavens suddenly opened and I arrived home soaked as I am sure everyone else must have done also!!! A warm welcome to new rider Mark.
