Tuesday Evening 3* Ride A	3*

Leader: LeeAnn Norris	Start Time: 6:30 pm	Start Location: OMH
Description: This is a pre-bookable ride only. To book your place please text the ride leader no sooner than the Wednesday before the ride. Weekly 1.5 - 2 hours at a riding pace of 20-24km/h (13-15mph). May be hilly.
Riders: Jane John LeeAnn Norris Lisa Footner Roger Postbeschild Roger Turnbull Yvonne Bird Riders = 6 Report: An interesting ride tonight which the ride leader was a little nervous of as we had hail less than 1 hour before the ride commenced. Following a scavenger hunt for car keys left on a roof for fun before departing, it was a snappy pace with the wind at our backs for a change. A bit more like a winter ride tonight with wind gusts which were tricky from time to time. Navigating through the busy bumpy road leading to Abingdon was all good. As we made our way along the back half of the route, the wind changed so we enjoyed a head wind for the remainder of the ride. Was very happy to have an alternate option to take the bypass under the A420 - thanks Roger! Once arriving back at OMH, the temperature was dropping fast which I clocked at 8 degrees, so most departed rather swiftly. Thanks to all the riders for playing find the keys tonight.
