Tuesday Evening 3* Ride	3*

Leader: Sharon Bedford	Start Time: 6:30 pm	Start Location: OMH
Description: Weekly 1.5 - 2 hours at a riding pace of 20-24km/h (13-15mph). May be hilly. Weekly 1.5 - 2 hours at a riding pace of 20-24km/h (13-15mph). May be hilly. We have split the ride to accommodate demand, (thanks to Katherine for volunteering to lead a second group). If you haven’t done so already please let me know if you are coming so we can allocate groups. This is a longish ride so may be back a little later than normal - but this ride has been successfully run before in June. Keeping fingers crossed for a nice evening so we can appreciate the views across Oxford from the top of Boars Hill.
Riders: Chris Bailey Eddie Little Jan McCabe Jane John Jo Little Katherine Boyce Lisa Footner Mike Cooke Richard Ashford Roger Turnbull Sharon Bedford Yvonne Bird Riders = 12 Report: With twelve riders we split into two groups of six setting off ten minutes apart, (thanks again to Katherine for leading a second group). The weather was kind to us following a few days of dismal weather and a few black clouds hovering whilst we were waiting at OMH soon dispersed to give a (mostly) sunny ride. Everyone tackled Boars Hill with enthusiasm and enjoyed the views over Oxford from the top - not to mention the swoop down afterwards. A longish ride for a tuesday evening so pleased that neither group had any mechanicals and were back well before dusk.
Distance: 49.00 km (30.45 mi)
