Tuesday Evening 1* Ride	1*

Leader: Lorna Swanton	Start Time: 6:30 pm	Start Location: OMH
Description: As a courtesy to the ride leader, we ask that you pre-book for this ride. To book, please text the ride leader no sooner than the Wednesday before the ride. Our leisurely and sociable Tuesday 1* rides are designed specifically with adult newcomers to cycling and youngsters in mind, or those who just want some relaxed and sociable exercise. We cover a distance of about 10 miles at a gentle pace of 8-10 mph, following quiet country lanes and the occasional easy off-road track. We stop regularly to catch our breath, to take in the views and anything that takes our interest along the way.
Riders: Carin Tranter Kevin Hazell Lorna Swanton Michael Tayler Steve Boreham Steve Swanton Susan Holdroyd Tim Waite Riders = 8 Weather: Report: A pleasant, breezy evening, with late August sun and shadows lengthening. 8 of us set out, only to have a puncture almost immediately, but Kevin was able to nip home and come out on a different bike to rejoin us later at Charney Bassett. A gentle, sociable ride - thanks everyone for your company.
Distance: 20.28 km (12.60 mi)
